Saphenous vein graft (SVG) pseudoaneurysms are an infrequent, but life-threatening complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery if left untreated. Here, we discuss the case of a 77-year-old patient, with a prior history of CABG and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), who was incidentally found on computed tomography angiography (CTA) to have a pseudoaneurysm of his SVG with an initial chief complaint of dizziness. Despite increasing reports of SVG pseudoaneurysm, there is no consensus on definitive treatment. Due to the high mortality risk of this patient with surgical intervention, a minimally invasive percutaneous coronary intervention was performed. The patient was effectively treated with two overlapping Viabahn-covered stents, which completely excluded the pseudoaneurysm. Follow-up imaging at two months showed two well-positioned overlapping self-expanding stents with total occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm.
大隐静脉移植物(SVG)假性动脉瘤是冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)手术中一种罕见但如果不治疗会危及生命的并发症。在此,我们讨论一例77岁患者的病例,该患者既往有CABG和经导管主动脉瓣植入术(TAVI)病史,在计算机断层扫描血管造影(CTA)检查时偶然发现其SVG存在假性动脉瘤,最初的主要症状为头晕。尽管关于SVG假性动脉瘤的报道日益增多,但对于确切的治疗方法尚无共识。由于该患者接受手术干预的死亡风险较高,因此实施了微创经皮冠状动脉介入治疗。该患者通过植入两个重叠的Viabahn覆膜支架得到有效治疗,这两个支架完全封堵了假性动脉瘤。两个月后的随访影像显示两个定位良好的重叠自膨式支架,假性动脉瘤完全闭塞。
