title: [A case of lateral origin of the left internal mammary artery].
abstract: A 66 years old men, with left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) stenosis and aortic valve stenosis, underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to LAD with left internal mammary artery (LIMA) and aortic valve replacement. His postoperative course was uneventful. But, postoperative angiogram showed that his patent LIMA graft was originated from much lateral side of the left subclavian artery. Internal mammary artery is considered the most ideal graft for CABG, but its' anomality is not well known. We present this rare case with the anomalous origin of LIMA.
