Avoiding 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...
متن کاملFree 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 کاملInadvertent left internal mammary artery (LIMA): great cardiac vein anastomosis.
To cite: Lumley M, Booker A, Clapp B. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2012007450 DESCRIPTION A 70-year-old man was transferred due to progressive angina with a history of severe aortic valve stenosis and multivessel coronary artery disease treated with biological aortic valve replacement and two-vessel coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) 1 year p...
متن کاملInadvertent anastomosis of internal mammary artery to great cardiac vein: a rare complication of coronary artery bypass surgery.
A 68-year-old man underwent successful 3-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG): a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) was anastomosed end to side to a large diagonal branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and was then skipped to the distal LAD; and saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) were anastomosed to the circumflex and right coronary arteries. He returned to his cardio...
