Successful Percutaneous Closure of a Ruptured Saphenous Vein Graft Aneurysm.

A 68-year-old man with previous coronary artery bypass surgery presented with acute onset chest pain. After ruling out an acute coronary syndrome, a computed tomography scan demonstrated a giant aneurysm (10 cm × 8 cm) of the right coronary artery saphenous vein graft (SVG) with signs of rupture into the mediastinum. An Amplatzer Vascular Plug II was successfully deployed at the proximal anastomosis of the SVG, achieving complete exclusion. At 6-month follow-up the patient remained asymptomatic and a computed tomography scan confirmed adequate position of the device. Amplatzer Vascular Plug II is a reasonable alternative for SVG aneurysm closure, providing the vein graft supplies nonviable myocardium.
