Balloon‐Assisted Embolization of a Left Internal Mammary Artery Branch in Life‐Threatening Hemoptysis: A Case Report [PDF]
ABSTRACT Life‐threatening hemoptysis is most commonly caused by hypertrophied bronchial arteries, but non‐bronchial systemic arteries (NBSA) such as the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) may also contribute, particularly in chronic infectious lung diseases. Embolization of LIMA branches poses technical challenges due to their tortuosity and proximity

The dataset of duplex ultrasound assessment of the internal mammary artery in women with unilateral mastectomy followed by radiotherapy for breast cancer [PDF]
Adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer may involve some incidental exposure of the ipsilateral internal mammary artery to ionizing radiation. However, the relevant evidence is limited and inconsistent.

Idiopathic internal mammary artery aneurysm [PDF]
Aneurysms of the internal mammary artery are extremely rare, and their presentation and treatment are variable. Since these aneurysms often tend to rupture and cause haemothorax and life-threatening conditions, the knowledge of secure treatment options is indispensable. We here report the case of an idiopathic internal mammary aneurysm in a 46-year-old
