Evaluation of internal mammary artery implantation
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1972Abstract 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 ...

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, 2016We 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.

Repair of damaged internal mammary artery
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2002The use of the internal mammary artery (IMA) in coronary artery bypass graft surgery is an independent predictor of late survival in all subsets of patients and should not be denied to any subgroup. Therefore damage to the IMA during harvesting is a catastrophic complication after which the graft is usually discarded.

A New Internal Mammary Artery Retractor
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1990A new retractor for asymmetric opening of the chest is presented. The instrument is mainly used for dissection of the internal mammary artery, but other applications are possible such as resection of large mediastinal tumors, or pulmonary resections through median sternotomy.

Laser for Harvesting of the Internal Mammary Artery
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1990In 12 piglets both internal mammary arteries were dissected from the thoracic wall without a surrounding pedicle, using low-current electrocautery for one artery and continuous wave contact Nd:YAG laser (12 W) for the contralateral vessel. Changes in the arterial flow surface were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy immediately after dissection ...

Radiographic anatomy of the internal mammary arteries
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1981AbstractThe radiographic anatomy of the IMAs is described based on bilateral selective arteriography in 100 patients with coronary artery disease. The right and left IMAs were identical in caliber in their mid portions in 94% of cases. Fifteen percent of the IMAs measured less than 2 mm in luminal diameter at the level of the fourth costal cartilage ...
