Giant saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm causing tricuspid valve stenosis.

Abstract
We present the case of a 72-year-old male who was diagnosed with a saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm, detected on routine chest echocardiogram 13 years after undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography revealed the pseudoaneurysm to be causing functional tricuspid stenosis, which was relieved after surgical excision of the mass.
