Indications for the Internal Mammary Artery Graft

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1981
Experience of 285 internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts inserted during a five-year period disclosed an operative mortality of 1.5% when patients with associated procedures were excluded. Two of nine patients undergoing concomitant intracardiac surgery died within one month. Thus the overall operative mortality was 2.1%.

[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 ...

Sternal Retractor for Internal Mammary Artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996
A sternal retractor for easy visualization of the internal mammary artery and retrosternal area is described. We have successfully used this retractor for all internal mammary dissections without sternal or costochondral fractures in the past 6 months.

Internal Mammary Artery Embolization for Hemoptysis

Acta Radiologica, 1999
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the factors influencing development of blood supply from the internal mammary artery and to discuss the value of embolization of the abnormal branches from this vessel using small particles following occlusion of the normal distal branches using microcoils in treating hemoptysis ...

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 ...
