Abstract

The authors report the case of a 48-year old patient admitted to hospital for unstable angina 13 years after primary myocardial revascularisation by a saphenous vein aorto-coronary bypass graft. Routine chest X-ray showed a left para-hilar opacity which CT scan and angiography confirmed to be aneurysmal and pseudoaneurysmal dilatations of the saphenous vein bypass graft.
