Internal Mammary Artery Anomalies

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1990
The internal mammary arteries (IMA) are considered to be the superior conduit in coronary bypass grafting (CABG). Anomalies of an IMA can influence the surgical technique and results; their true incidence is not well known. The IMA's were visualised angiographically in 262 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac catheterisation prior to CABG ...

Internal Mammary Artery Cannulation

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1977
A technique of internal mammary artery cannulation is described. This approach offers a safe method for arterial monitoring in infants undergoing thoracotomy for palliative cardiac procedures.

Bilateral internal mammary artery grafting

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2006
The superiority of the left internal mammary artery over the saphenous vein graft led many surgeons to adopt bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) as a good surgical option for further improving late outcome of patients undergoing myocardial revascularization. However, routine use of BIMA was limited by some potential drawbacks: the increase of deep

Pure arterial CABG using bilateral internal mammary artery

Heart, 2013
To the Editor, We read with interest the paper by Itagaki et al in Heart .1 The authors investigate the impact of bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) use in 1 526 360 isolated coronary artery bypass operations on inhospital mortality and deep sternal wound infection (DSWI). While there …

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.

Coronary artery bypass using internal mammary artery branches

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
The excellent long-term patency rates achieved with use of the internal mammary artery (IMA) to bypass the left anterior descending coronary artery have stimulated a variety of approaches to expand the use of this conduit in coronary bypass surgery. In this report we document our results using the two terminal branches of the IMA to bypass two arteries

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.

Mammary-coronary artery anastomosis

Postgraduate Medicine, 1978
My experience with the use of mammary-coronary artery anastomosis for myocardial revascularization in 1,500 patients over a nine-year period has been described. The procedure was used in approximately 85% of patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery, but mammary arteries accounted for only one third of the grafts.

[Myocardial revascularization with arterial conduits: comparison of bilateral internal mammary artery and single internal mammary artery].

Cardiologia (Rome, Italy), 1999
The use of bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafting for myocardial revascularization has been demonstrated to provide long-term benefits compared to revascularization using single left internal mammary artery (SIMA) and venous conduits. However, it is still controversial whether the use of BIMA is associated with a higher hospital mortality ...

Conjoined Double Internal Mammary Artery Grafting

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1994
Double internal mammary artery (IMA) grafting to the coronary arteries was performed on 82 patients. In ten of them one IMA was used as a free graft, and was proximally connected to the other ("conjoined" double IMA), the indications being insufficient supply of adequate veins, diseased aortic wall, availability of only a short right IMA segment for ...
