An asymptomatic giant true saphenous vein graft aneurysm was successfully occluded by percutaneous distal coil embolisation combined with deployment of a proximal Amplatzer vascular occlusion plug. The aneurysm cavity was excluded from both antegrade flow via the aortosaphenous anastamosis and retro...
