Stent-graft repair of coronary vein graft aneurysm

J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2009 May;20(5):649-51. doi: 10.1016/j.jvir.2009.02.004. Epub 2009 Mar 31.

Abstract

The authors describe treating a 6-cm right coronary artery bypass graft aneurysm that was causing recurrent angina. With use of the combined skills of interventional radiologists and cardiologists, the aneurysm was successfully occluded by using a stent-graft typically used to treat aneurysms in the peripheral circulation. One month after the procedure, the aneurysm had sealed at follow-up computed tomographic angiography.
