title: The collateral pathway from the left internal thoracic artery to the left external iliac artery detected by multislice computed tomography.
abstract: It is important to evaluate the presence or absence of the collateral pathway from the left internal thoracic artery in aortoiliac occlusive disease. This case report indicates that multislice computed tomography is a very useful method for detecting this collateral pathway.
