Symptomatic anterior myocardial ischemia as a result of stenosis at the origin of the left internal mammary artery developed in a patient who underwent prior coronary artery bypass grafting using the left internal mammary artery as a conduit. Successful revascularization of the left anterior descending coronary artery was achieved using a reversed saphenous vein bypass graft from the left common carotid artery to the proximal internal mammary artery. This approach provided myocardial revascularization and avoided reoperative median sternotomy.

D007387 Internal Mammary-Coronary Artery Anastomosis Direct myocardial revascularization in which the internal mammary artery is anastomosed to the right coronary artery, circumflex artery, or anterior descending coronary artery. The internal mammary artery is the most frequent choice, especially for a single graft, for coronary artery bypass surgery.
