Severe Dilatation of Saphenous Vein Grafts: A Late Complication of Coronary Surgery in Which the Diagnosis Is Suggested by Chest X-Ray

Aneurysmal dilatation of saphenous vein graft (SVG), first reported in 1975, is secondary to true aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm. We report 1 case and review 107 cases published since 1975. Severe SVG dilatations are large (6 ± 3 cm), occur remote from surgery (12 ± 4 years) and are life threatening, with 15.7% in-hospital mortality. Symptoms are nonspecific and the abnormality is initially observed by chest X-ray in 57% of cases. The chest X-ray abnormalities have a distinctive appearance that may suggest both diagnosis and which SVG is involved. Diagnosis is made clinically by imaging, i.e. computed tomography, echocardiography, magnetic resonance and/or surgical observation (66 cases), or most accurately by tissue evaluation by the pathologist (42 cases). Aneurysm is more common than pseudoaneurysm by a 6:1 ratio.

“…Since the first SVG aneurysm was reported in 1975, there have been almost 50 published cases. These aneurysms ranged from 1–14 cm 10 in diameter. The reported interval between CABG and diagnosis of the aneurysm is from a few days to 20 years 2 .…”

“…The reported interval between CABG and diagnosis of the aneurysm is from a few days to 20 years 2 . Although there is no universal definition in the literature regarding what is considered an aneurysm, the most widely accepted definition is a dilatation of more than 1.5 times the diameter of the adjacent normal segment 10 …”
