ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Internal mammary artery malperfusion syndrome is caused by an acute imbalance between myocardial demand and nutritional support through the mammary artery.METHODS:
We performed early angiography in 11 consecutive patients in whom the perioperative course suggested mammary artery malperfusion. All patients received an additional saphenous vein graft distally to the mammary artery anastomosis.RESULTS:
Postoperative angiography revealed patent mammary artery and vein graft in 10 patients (three with a markedly reduced caliber of the arterial graft).CONCLUSION:
Additional vein graft is the treatment of choice in mammary artery malperfusion syndrome; it does not lead to occlusion of the internal mammary artery.
