Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of a surgically obstructed left internal mammary artery graft.
We describe a case of an angioplasty of left internal mammary artery. This case had had a recent surgery and was found to have a stenosis at the site of a surgical clip. This was successfully dilated, and the patient became asymptomatic. Follow-up at one year revealed continual improvement.
