โœฆ Synopsis

A case is described in which a pericardial branch of a nongrafted left internal mammary artery communicated directly with the distal left anterior descending artery, following saphenous vein bypass grafting. This type of collateralization following coronary artery bypass surgery seems to be very rare, and perhaps could protect the myocardium from severe ischemia.

We describe a case of balloon angioplasty of a totally occluded left anterior descending coronary artery through a tortuous left internal mammary artery graft. Because of early recurrence of the lesion, we implanted a short Palmaz-Schatz stent with good angiographic and clinical results.
