| Abstract: | Few cases of aortocoronary saphenous vein (SV) graft aneurysm have been reported. These have been limited primarily to pseudoaneurysms occurring at either the proximal or distal anastomosis, although at least 6 cases of true aneurysmal change of the vein conduit itself have been reported in English.1–5 This report reviews an unusual case of acute rupture of an autogenous SV graft aneurysm, which presented initially as acute right hemothorax after a brief period of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. |
