Beta-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 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 کاملAssociation of Internal Mammary Artery Flow with Different Comorbidities and Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Complications
Objective The internal mammary artery (IMA) is commonly used arterial graft for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). The IMA has a better patency and survival. This study considers different comorbidities and conditions where IMA flow may be low. Therefore, the main objective is to determine the flow of IMA in different diseases, its relation to gender, age, and in different blood groups in o...
متن کاملFlow dynamics of angiographically no-flow patent internal mammary artery grafts.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the flow dynamics of internal mammary artery grafts (IMAGs) in no-flow situations by use of a Doppler guide wire. BACKGROUND Functionally no-flow and anatomically patent IMAGs have been reported by angiography in patients with a patent recipient coronary artery. METHODS The study included 12 patients with an IMAG to the left anterior descending coronar...
متن کاملInternal mammary artery graft false aneurysm.
A 59-year-old male patient presented with a pulsating mass at the left sternal edge weeks after a CABG procedure. CTshowed a false aneurysm of the LIMA (Fig. 1), confirmed by angiography (Fig. 2a). The leakage was treated using a 16-by-3.5-mm Jostent leading to complete lesion thrombosis (Fig. 2b). Fig. 1. Contrast enhanced CT shows a 6 cm diameter left internal mammary artery false aneurysm. F...
