Poststernotomy pseudoaneurysm of the internal mammary artery
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2008We present a case of a 79-year-old man who underwent mitral valve and aortic valve replacement. The patient's postoperative period was almost uneventful. At his cardiac preoperative examination, a malignant tumor of the urinary tract had been suspected, so computed tomography (CT) was performed after discharge, on the 48th postoperative day.

Atherosclerosis Involving the Internal Mammary Artery
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1974Abstract Three patients undergoing coronary artery bypass operation at this institution over a two-month period were found to have significant atherosclerotic disease involving the internal mammary artery. All 3 patients were relatively young men with hypertension and severe three-vessel coronary involvement.

Retrograde Flow in the Internal Mammary Artery
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1988Thirty-two patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were studied to evaluate retrograde flow in the internal mammary artery (IMA). The left IMA pedicle was prepared in routine fashion from the level of the first rib superiorly to just distal to the IMA bifurcation.

Atherosclerosis and the internal mammary arteries
Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, 1983One hundred and fifty patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), 14 (9.3%) of whom had coexisting peripheral vascular disease, underwent bilateral internal mammary arteriography to study the incidence and extent of atherosclerosis in these vessels. Significant atherosclerosis of the internal mammary arteries (IMAs) was present in three patients (2%),

"Demand" and Internal Mammary Artery Implantation
Circulation, 1967The results with internal mammary artery implantation in the myocardium after chronic, slow constriction of the left anterior descending coronary artery did not differ from the same implantation done with a normal coronary system. Patency rates, flow through the implanted vessel, cineangiographic appearances, and anatomical patterns were the same in ...

The Skeletonized Internal Mammary Artery
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1987The internal mammary artery increasingly is being used to construct multiple distal anastomoses. By skeletonizing the pedicle, the artery is functionally lengthened and sequential anastomoses are easier to perform.

Sternal Retractor for Internal Mammary Artery
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996A sternal retractor for easy visualization of the internal mammary artery and retrosternal area is described. We have successfully used this retractor for all internal mammary dissections without sternal or costochondral fractures in the past 6 months.

Internal Mammary Artery Embolization for Hemoptysis
Acta Radiologica, 1999Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing development of blood supply from the internal mammary artery and to discuss the value of embolization of the abnormal branches from this vessel using small particles following occlusion of the normal distal branches using microcoils in treating hemoptysis ...

Indications for the Internal Mammary Artery Graft
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1981Experience of 285 internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts inserted during a five-year period disclosed an operative mortality of 1.5% when patients with associated procedures were excluded. Two of nine patients undergoing concomitant intracardiac surgery died within one month. Thus the overall operative mortality was 2.1%.

Incidence of atherosclerosis in the internal mammary artery
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1989The long-term patency of the internal mammary artery (IMA) graft is better than that of the saphenous vein graft in coronary bypass procedures. The better patency is thought to be due in part to a relatively low incidence of atherosclerosis in the IMA.
