Left internal mammary artery--coronary artery bypass anatomy

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1977
Bypass coronary surgery has made good use of the anatomic proximity of the internal mammary artery and the left anterior descending coronary artery. In preparing the internal mammary artery for bypass surgery, several of its proximal branches remain intact and are visualized during selective studies of the bypass graft.

Intraoperative Catheterization of the Left Internal Mammary Artery via the Left Radial Artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997
Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting involving anastomosis of the left internal mammary artery to the left anterior descending coronary artery has become popular in the last year. Critics of this technique infer lower graft patency rates and increased cardiac morbidity.

Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of left internal mammary artery graft

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993
Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the left internal mammary artery was recognized as a possible causal factor in the early recurrence of angina in a 51-year-old man. This patient underwent reoperation for revascularization with the left internal mammary artery graft in situ.

Lung cancer and the left internal mammary artery graft

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1994
A patient with a left upper lobe non-small cell lung cancer involving a previous left internal mammary artery graft is presented to highlight the potential complications associated with resective lung operations in these patients. If left internal mammary artery involvement by tumor is suspected, coronary and left internal mammary artery ...

Angiographic anatomy of the grafted left internal mammary artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1999
The hypothesis that persistence of undivided branches is a common finding after myocardial revascularization using the left internal mammary artery was explored.Three hundred seven consecutive postoperative angiographies of the left internal mammary artery were considered.

Pain pattern and left internal mammary artery grafting

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2000
This study was designed to determine whether the pain pattern in patients with an internal mammary artery (IMA) harvest differs from that in other cardiac operations and whether these patients present specific characteristics with clinical implications.One hundred patients with left IMA grafting (IMA group) were compared prospectively with 100 patients

Myocardial Revascularization Using Branches of the Left Internal Mammary Artery

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1995
To increase the number of arterial grafts in patients with multivessel coronary disease, we have used branches of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) as bypass grafts. From March 1990 to June 1993, 15 patients (13 males and 2 females) aged 38 to 65 years (mean 57 +/- 8), received a total of 30 LIMA branch anastomoses. The two terminal branches were

Reoperations in patients with patent left internal mammary artery.

Italian heart journal : official journal of the Italian Federation of Cardiology, 2004
In the past decade the rate of reoperative coronary bypass grafting has averaged 8%. In these patients adequate myocardial protection is often difficult because delivery of cardioplegia is frequently suboptimal when the internal mammary artery graft is patent.

Reversibility of the “string sign” of the left internal mammary artery graft

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1993
AbstractWe report a case that showed reversibility of a generalized narrowing of the left internal mammary graft in response to interruption of collateral flow to the distal vessel supplied by the graft.
