[Angioplasty and coronary restoration using the internal mammary artery].
A technique of coronary surgical angioplasty is described. At the level of the stenosis the arteriotomy of the coronary artery is closed with the internal thoracic artery giving an enlargement patch effect. The major surface of the atherome plaque is excluded from the lumen of the anastomosis and put outside the suture line. The origins of the collateral arteries are kept in the vascular lumel. So the new remodeled coronary artery is formed with a small gutter of native coronary artery and the whole surface of the internal thoracic artery wall. In some cases it is useful to associate a limited endarterectomy to the angioplasty. Sixty-six surgical angioplasties have been done in extensive coronary disease. Operative mortality was 5.4% and myocardial infarction 5.4%.
