Saphenous vein graft aneurysm is a relatively rare but serious complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The diagnosis of such cases is clinically challenging and requires a high index of suspicion, especially if presented atypically or very late after CABG. Herein, we report a case of a saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm that presented 36 years after CABG and was masquerading as a right atrial myxoma on serial echocardiograms over a 2-year follow-up period.
大隐静脉移植血管动脉瘤是冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)相对罕见但严重的并发症。此类病例的诊断在临床上具有挑战性,需要高度的怀疑指数,尤其是在表现不典型或CABG术后很晚才出现时。在此,我们报告一例大隐静脉移植血管假性动脉瘤病例,该病例在CABG术后36年出现,在2年的随访期间,连续超声心动图检查一直误诊为右心房黏液瘤。
