摘要

A 78-year-old man presented with chest pain, left bundle branch block and raised troponin levels. Echocardiography demonstrated a 63?mm vein graft aneurysm with mural thrombus (Fig. 1A, B and C; Videos 1, 2, 3 and 4), and a dilated, severely dysfunctional and dyssynchronous left ventricle, with inferior akinesia. Eighteen years ago, he had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting following three myocardial infarctions. He had four grafts, including a vein graft to the left anterior descending artery (LADA). Percutaneous occlusion of this aneurysmal LADA graft had been considered when it measured 45?mm 3 years before, but on angiography, the graft contributed significantly to LADA flow and was not therefore occluded (Fig. 1D). The native LADA and two other vein grafts were occluded. Repeat computerised tomography scan revealed that the aneurysmal graft was patent, but had enlarged, compressing the pulmonary artery (Fig. 1E, F and G). The patient died from left ventricular failure. Vein graft aneurysms occur due to trauma during harvesting, weak points along the vein or atherosclerotic degeneration (1), (2). On echocardiography, it appears as a well-circumscribed, echo-lucent mass, surrounded by a crescentic, echo-dense region. Using i.v. echo-contrast agents, pulsatile diastolic flow within such aneurysms has been described before (3). Untreated aneurysms can cause myocardial infarctions, rupture and death (2).Download Figure
