Retrograde Flow in the Internal Mammary Artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1988
Thirty-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, 1983
One 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, 1967
The 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, 1987
The 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, 1996
A 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.

Indications for the Internal Mammary Artery Graft

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1981
Experience 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, 1989
The 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.

Evaluation of internal mammary artery implantation

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1972
Abstract Twenty patients who underwent internal mammary artery implantation for the treatment of incapacitating angina pectoris were studied before and 1 year after operation. Studies included treadmill exercise test, right heart catheterization at rest and during exercise, selective coronary adenography and selective visualization of the implanted ...

[Myocardial revascularization with arterial conduits: comparison of bilateral internal mammary artery and single internal mammary artery].

Cardiologia (Rome, Italy), 1999
The use of bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafting for myocardial revascularization has been demonstrated to provide long-term benefits compared to revascularization using single left internal mammary artery (SIMA) and venous conduits. However, it is still controversial whether the use of BIMA is associated with a higher hospital mortality ...

Internal mammary artery with side-branch

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2016
We present the case of a 72-year-old man who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting of 4 coronary arteries with exclusive use of the left internal mammary artery with a side-branch (mediastinal artery). Before discharge from the hospital, contrast computed tomography angiography confirmed the patency of all 4 coronary grafts.
