Abstract
Late failure of saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass grafts is predominantly due to vein graft atherosclerotic disease. Rarely, saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass grafts undergo aneurysmal degeneration. We report a case of a giant true aneurysm of a saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass graft producing right heart failure from main pulmonary artery compression.
