This is a case report of a 78-year-old patient with a 7-cm aneurysm of the saphenous vein graft that was used 17 years before to perform a coronary artery bypass grafting on the circumflex artery. CT scan displayed a mass with an internal lumen compressing the left atrium as well as the left pulmonary artery.
