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.

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 rar
The use of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to graft a borderline lesion in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) has been associated with distal narrowing and occlusion of the LIMA. We present a patient in whom the LIMA occluded 1 year after coronary artery bypass, but was found
A patient with a patent left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery required repeat bypass grafting to the distal right coronary artery (RCA). Intraoperative injury to the LIMA resulted in acute anterior myocardial infarction, which was managed by successful resc
