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.

Techniques to Maximize Mammary Artery Length

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1985
The available length of the internal mammary artery has limited its versatility as a bypass conduit. Several techniques for increasing usable internal mammary artery length are described.

[Revascularization of coronary arteries. Reimplantation of the right internal mammary artery into the left in situ mammary artery].

Presse medicale (Paris, France : 1983), 1991
The distal latero-circumflex arteries and the posterior descending artery are located so far from the mammary arteries that they cannot be revascularized by the conventional procedure. Reimplantation of the right internal mammary artery (RIMA) used as a free graft into the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) in situ doubles the length of the RIMA, thus

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.

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.

Atherosclerosis in Internal Mammary and Related Arteries

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1990
The incidence of atherosclerosis in internal mammary, subclavian, carotid and coronary arteries was studied in an autopsy series of 153 patients, and the structure of the internal elastic lamina was compared in internal mammary and radial arteries. Atherosclerotic changes were exceptional in internal mammary artery, whereas only 12-30% of the other ...
