A Technique for Internal Mammary Artery to Coronary Artery Anastomoses

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1993
A "no-touch" technique for anastomosing the internal mammary artery to the anterior descending artery is described. This technique has been used in more than 3000 patients, and enables one to construct a long, patulous anastomosis in which all suturing is forehand.

"Demand" and Internal Mammary Artery Implantation

Circulation, 1967
The results with internal mammary artery implantation in the myocardium after chronic, slow constriction of the left anterior descending coronary artery did not differ from the same implantation done with a normal coronary system. Patency rates, flow through the implanted vessel, cineangiographic appearances, and anatomical patterns were the same in ...

Incidence of atherosclerosis in the internal mammary artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1989
The long-term patency of the internal mammary artery (IMA) graft is better than that of the saphenous vein graft in coronary bypass procedures. The better patency is thought to be due in part to a relatively low incidence of atherosclerosis in the IMA.

The Skeletonized Internal Mammary Artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1987
The 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.

Neuropeptides in the human internal mammary artery

Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1989
Les neuropeptides de l'artere mammaire interne humaine sont detectes par la technique indirecte d'immunofluorescence, a partir d'antiserums de lapin et de ...

Poststernotomy pseudoaneurysm of the internal mammary artery

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2008
We present a case of a 79-year-old man who underwent mitral valve and aortic valve replacement. The patient's postoperative period was almost uneventful. At his cardiac preoperative examination, a malignant tumor of the urinary tract had been suspected, so computed tomography (CT) was performed after discharge, on the 48th postoperative day.

Retrograde Flow in the Internal Mammary Artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1988
Thirty-two patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were studied to evaluate retrograde flow in the internal mammary artery (IMA). The left IMA pedicle was prepared in routine fashion from the level of the first rib superiorly to just distal to the IMA bifurcation.

Atherosclerosis Involving the Internal Mammary Artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1974
Abstract Three patients undergoing coronary artery bypass operation at this institution over a two-month period were found to have significant atherosclerotic disease involving the internal mammary artery. All 3 patients were relatively young men with hypertension and severe three-vessel coronary involvement.

Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum of the Internal Mammary Artery

Cardiovascular Surgery, 1999
A case of pseudoxanthoma elasticum of the left internal mammary artery from a 61-year-old male who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting is reported. Intraoperative evaluation of the left internal mammary artery revealed partial stenosis. Histologically, the stenotic portion showed pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

A New Internal Mammary Artery Retractor

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1990
A 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.
