Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The internal mammary arteries are now widely used for surgical myocardial revascularization. Because of its excellent long-term patency rates, re-do surgery is rarely requested and transluminal percutaneous angioplasty of these arterial grafts is still relatively infrequent. This procedure is performed mainly at the distal anastomotic site but also at the origin of the vessel from the subclavian artery, frequently just to treat a local traumatic dissection due to the catheter. We here report the case of a successful angioplasty and stenting of the body of the graft for an early total occlusion of a complex, bifurcated arterial bypass to the left coronary system. |
