Free internal mammary artery for coronary bypass.
An improved technique of free internal mammary artery (IMA) to ascending aorta anastomosis for coronary bypass is described. A small patch vein with a suitable side branch or branches is interposed, connecting the proximal end of a detached IMA to the ascending aorta. A single or double free IMA alone or in combination with an additional saphenous vein graft was performed in 77 patients. A tota...
متن کاملBeta-adrenoceptor-mediated responsiveness of human internal mammary artery
The internal mammary artery (IMA) is currently the preferred conduit for myocardial revascularization. However, pre-operative vasospasm and a hypoperfusion state during maximal exercise may limit its use as a bypass graft. The mechanism of spasm has not been clearly defined. Since β-adrenoceptor activation plays a major role in vasorelaxation, the present study was carried out to investigate th...
متن کاملatherosclerosis of the internal mammary artery in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting
in patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg), usually at least one of the internal mammary arteries is used. this study evaluates the degree of atherosclerotic involvement of the internal mammary artery (ima) in patients undergoing cabg. during two months period, 79 patients (66 male and 13 female with a medium age of 58 years) undergoing myocardial revascularization had a biops...
متن کاملIdiopathic internal mammary artery aneurysm
Aneurysms of the internal mammary artery are extremely rare, and their presentation and treatment are variable. Since these aneurysms often tend to rupture and cause haemothorax and life-threatening conditions, the knowledge of secure treatment options is indispensable. We here report the case of an idiopathic internal mammary aneurysm in a 46-year-old man. Open surgical resection of the aneury...
متن کاملAvoiding tension in left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending coronary artery anastomosis during coronary artery bypass graft surgery
BACKGROUND The left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) graft is the most important graft in coronary artery bypass graft surgery.1 The length of the LIMA is fixed and situations may arise when this is inadequate.2 This may not be apparent during the cardiopulmonary bypass until after the anastomosis has been performed and the lungs re-expanded. We d...
