Spontaneous rupture of a saphenous vein graft with pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare occurrence after coronary artery bypass grafting. Using polytetrafluoroethylene covered JOSTENTs (Jomed Inc., Rancho Cordova, California), we report the successful percutaneous repair of a large pseudoaneurysm emanating from a 23-year-old saphenous vein graft and pseudoaneurysm at the site of a radial artery graft to the circumflex coronary artery 18 days after bypass surgery. These are, respectively, the oldest saphenous vein graft-related and earliest radial artery graft-related pseudoaneurysms to have been reported in the literature to date, and illustrate the versatility of the JOSTENT in the treatment of these conditions.

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.
