[Late spontaneous revascularization of an internal mammary graft onto the anterior interventricular artery].
The authors report a case of internal mammary artery graft anastomosed to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LADC) which was found to be non functional in the early post-operative period (one month) but second catheterization at one year revealed the graft to be patent with thrombosis of the LADC. This case shows the flow adjustment possibilities of internal mammary artery graft.
