Abstrakt: Coronary cineangiography showed probable pseudoaneurysm formation at the origin of an 11-year-old saphenous vein coronary bypass graft. Transesophageal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging were helpful in differentiating this from aortic dissection or true aneurysm formation and assisted the surgeon in avoiding perforation of the pseudoaneurysm during sternotomy.
