Abstract
True aneurysmal vein graft dilation is rare, and its etiology remains speculative. However, systemic dilation diathesis is regarded as a risk factor. We herein report a case of a rapidly expanding aneurysm in a great saphenous vein graft, resulting in distal malperfusion in a patient who had previously undergone open repair of multiple popliteal artery aneurysms. After an unsuccessful endovascular intervention, the dilated section was eventually replaced by a reversed segment of the contralateral great saphenous vein. Subsequent whole-exome sequencing identified no relevant mutations. This case provides further evidence that aneurysmal disease may be associated with systemic dilation diathesis.
