Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2005
The internal mammary artery (IMA) has been already used in some pioneering experiences since the middle of last century but it became the graft of choice only in the 1980s, after widespread angiographic and clinical demonstration of its superiority over the saphenous vein graft (SVG).

Internal Mammary Artery Anomalies
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1990The internal mammary arteries (IMA) are considered to be the superior conduit in coronary bypass grafting (CABG). Anomalies of an IMA can influence the surgical technique and results; their true incidence is not well known. The IMA's were visualised angiographically in 262 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac catheterisation prior to CABG ...

Internal Mammary Artery Cannulation
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1977A technique of internal mammary artery cannulation is described. This approach offers a safe method for arterial monitoring in infants undergoing thoracotomy for palliative cardiac procedures.

Bilateral internal mammary artery grafting
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2006The superiority of the left internal mammary artery over the saphenous vein graft led many surgeons to adopt bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) as a good surgical option for further improving late outcome of patients undergoing myocardial revascularization. However, routine use of BIMA was limited by some potential drawbacks: the increase of deep

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.

Conjoined Double Internal Mammary Artery Grafting
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1994Double internal mammary artery (IMA) grafting to the coronary arteries was performed on 82 patients. In ten of them one IMA was used as a free graft, and was proximally connected to the other ("conjoined" double IMA), the indications being insufficient supply of adequate veins, diseased aortic wall, availability of only a short right IMA segment for ...

Atherosclerosis of the Internal Mammary Artery
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1976To better evaluate the incidence of atherosclerosis in the internal mammary artery (IMA), 215 IMA segments from routine postmortem examinations were evaluated microscopically. Significant atherosclerotic narrowing was seen in 9 patients (4.2%). No patient had more than a 50% reduction in lumen diameter.

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 ...

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.
