ABSTRACT

A patient who suffered two previous myocardium revascularization surgeries, ten and twenty years ago, respectively, showed a history of dyspnea, chest pain and hemoptysis suddenly. In the folllowing examinations, a big saphenous vein bypass graft aneurysm was observed to the left marginal artery, partially broked up in the left bronchus. The aneurysm was corrected sucessfully, but the patient died 15 days after the surgery due to a pulmonary infection.
