Atherosclerosis of the internal mammary artery (IMA) is an uncommon disease. We present a case report of a patient with stable angina who had a history of coarctation repair. After meticulous investigation and discussion, a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) was planned. During the surgery, we found that the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) was severely atherosclerotic without any blood flow, and a fragment of LIMA was taken for histopathological examination for further insight into pathogenesis. Vein grafts were alternatively used. Furthermore, relevant literature review and management were discussed for the use of LIMA in patients with a history of aortic coarctation.

“…The long-term outcome is known only after surgery and although stent therapy has been proven efficient, relatively simple and free adverse events in the majority of cases, the equivalence of the endovascular repair in the long-term has not yet been determined [5]. Some authors have suggested a single-stage repair [6-8], while exposure of the descending aorta through a median sternotomy and the posterior pericardium was described by Vijayanagar et al [9] in a patient with aortic coarctation associated with aortic valve regurgitation.…”

The ideal surgical approach is unclear in adult patients with coarctation of the aorta that is associated with other cardiovascular pathologies that require intervention. Standard median sternotomy allows simultaneous, coronary revascularization surgery, valve replacement and repair of aortic coarctation. However the collateral circulation and the anatomy of the mammary arteries must be determined, to avoid possible complications. We report a case of a 69 year-old man with aortic coarctation, aortic stenosis, coronary artery disease and internal mammary artery dilatation who underwent concomitant surgical procedures through a median sternotomy.
