The use of internal mammary vein in coronary artery surgery

Abstract: Arterial revascularization, and in particular, left internal mammary artery (LIMA), has shown to improve survival of patients with coronary artery disease. Complete revascularization often requires the use of other grafts and saphenous vein graft is still the most common conduit used. Several other types of grafts have been utilized during revascularization, including the radial artery and gastroepiploic artery. It is recognized that its venous structure can change when submitted to long‐term blood pressure re… Show more

“…The two main types of commonly used autologous arterial and venous grafts are left internal mammary artery (LIMA) and saphenous vein (SV) grafts, respectively [17]. LIMA is typically grafted directly from its origin to the coronary artery beyond the blockage, whereas the SV is anastomosed proximally to the aorta and distally to a coronary artery downstream from the blockage.…”
