A roentgenogram of the shoulder in a 25-year-old man with an athletic injury revealed a large mass along the left heart border. Evaluation with coronary arteriography established the diagnosis of a massive aneurysm of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The aneurysm was excised and a saphenous vein bypass graft was placed into the distal artery. Histologic examination revealed that the excised segment was a false aneurysm. Five years postoperatively, the patient is asymptomatic and the graft remains widely patent. |
