Internal Thoracic Artery Encircled by an Unusual Phrenic Nerve Loop
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2007 We report an anatomic variation of the phrenic nerve. During a routine gross anatomical dissection course at our medical university, we found an unusual loop of the left phrenic nerve around the internal thoracic artery, about 1 cm from the take-off of ...

Techniques and Outcomes of the No-Touch Vein Conduit as a Y-Composite Graft [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022 Although the saphenous vein is a widely used conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting, revascularization using the saphenous vein as an aortocoronary bypass graft has shown disadvantages of lower long-term graft patency rates and subsequently worse ...

A Simplest Method to Enhance the Benefits of Internal Thoracic Artery Distal Occlusion
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021 A common element of internal thoracic artery harvesting techniques is a distal vascular clamp placement at the end of the procedure, not only to avoid bleeding, but also to increase the internal hydrostatic pressure, diameter and flow.

Carbodissection of the Internal Thoracic Artery Pedicle [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1988 Carbodissection of the internal thoracic artery pedicle facilitates separation of the internal thoracic artery from the chest wall and permits rapid atraumatic exposure of its branches for precise clipping under direct vision, without the risks of thermal injury inherent in cautery dissection of the pedicle.
