The left internal mammary artery (IMA) has been used as a sequential graft
to the left anterior descending (LAD) system in 39 patients. Seven patients
having operation in 1977 were followed up for 2 years, and cardiac
catheterization in four revealed no problems related to the anastomoses.
After a 2 year hiatus we resumed use of the procedure in 1980. A total of
10 patients have had catheterization from 1 month to 5 years
postoperatively with no anastomotic narrowing or restriction of distal IMA
flow by the side-to-side anastomosis. The IMA should be equal to or greater
in size than the larger of the two vessels to be grafted. We continue to
use this procedure in carefully selected patients.
