Right ventricular--saphenous vein graft fistula. Unusual complication of aorta-coronary bypass grafting. 1984

M Riahi, and K S Stone, and C L Hanni, and E Fierens, and R E Dean

A fistula between the right ventricle and a saphenous vein graft aneurysm developed 10 years following aorta-coronary bypass. Surgical repair was attempted, but the autopsy finding of a large myocardial infarction raised the possibility of a "coronary steal" phenomenon.
