Abstract

Tuberculosis in the tibial diaphysis following saphenous vein graft harvest for coronary artery bypass grafting has not been reported, to the best of authors’ knowledge. We report the first such clinical case in view of its clinical rarity and as a complication of the simple procedure like saphenous vein graft harvest.
