Hybrid treatment of an isolated immunoglobulin G4-related internal thoracic artery aneurysm
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2018 True aneurysms of the internal thoracic artery (ITA) are rare and are associated with vasculitides, connective tissue diseases, and infections. We report a case of a 3-cm immunoglobulin G4-positive ITA aneurysm that was excised by a hybrid approach ...

Is internal thoracic artery resistant to reperfusion injury? Evaluation of the storage of free internal thoracic artery grafts [PDF]
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018 The in situ internal thoracic artery (ITA) is recognized as the best conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery. The ITA-if it is used as an in situ graft-has a much higher late patency rate than any other arterial graft, including a free ITA graft. We sought to determine if the use of the ITA as an in situ/free graft and its storage in preservation ...
