Percutaneous angioplasty of internal mammary artery graft stenosis using the brachial approach: a case report.
Cannulation of the internal mammary artery (IMA) via the ipsilateral brachial approach offers a complementary alternative to the transfemoral approach for IMA graft angioplasty and can offer potential advantage in terms of catheter stability and ease of IMA cannulation. This report describes successful IMA graft stenosis angioplasty using the ipsilateral brachial approach.
