“…In the present case, the LIMA dissection site is tortuous. Severe IMA tortuousity is a main cause of failed angioplasty of IMA graft disease [5]. The present case suggests medical treatment is a rational option in asymptomatic patients with IMA graft dissection and good distal flow.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, the present case is the first case of unhealed chronic dissection of IMA graft. IMA graft dissection can occur spontaneously [1][2][3] or secondary to injury during cardiac catheterization [4], angioplasty [5], or cardiac surgery. The cause of IMA graft dissection is unclear in the present case.…”

“…This article reports the short‐ and long‐term outcomes of consecutive cases of SVG intervention performed over 5 years at a single center, using a technologically simple but pharmacologically aggressive approach. The objective of this study was to compare clinical and angiographic characteristics of contemporary SVG patients and their short‐ and long‐term outcomes with a previously published single‐center prestent‐era experience of one of the same operators [12, 13] and with a literature review of atheroablative and distal protection technologies.…”

We hypothesized that the use of stents and aggressive adjunctive pharmacotherapies has been associated with lower rates of complicating myocardial infarction (MI) and improved long-term outcomes compared to either previous balloon-only percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or atheroablative intervention for lesions of or through saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) and/or internal mammary arteries (IMAs). PCI of SVG has been complicated by relatively high rates of procedural MI and less favorable long-term outcomes than native vessel PCI, stimulating the development and application of an array of technologies. This study was based on retrospective review of stent-era (1999-2004) 5-year experience of a single center with 95 SVG procedures in 85 patients and 20 IMA procedures in 20 patients. These cases were compared with the previously published experience of one of the operators during the balloon-only period and literature review of the application of multiple technologies to SVG intervention, as well as consideration of the reoperation alternative. There was one in-hospital death each in the SVG cohort (1%) and in the IMA cohort (5%). There were SIX procedural MIs (6%), defined by total CK > normal, and 19 procedural MIs (20%) based on troponin-I > 1.0. Follow-up has been from 4 months to 5 years (average, 2.5 years), with 91% survival and one late CABG in the IMA group. SVG PCI with stents and adjunctive pharmacotherapies is associated with relatively low rates of procedural MI and favorable long-term outcomes.

“…[169] Published reports have demonstrated that BA of the IMA can be performed safely with high procedural success and a low incidence of clinical restenosis. [170][171][172][173][174][175] The use of BMS compared to BA alone for percutaneous revascularization of the IMA graft was investigated in several studies. In a large cohort of 174 patients who underwent BA or BMS placement, anastomotic lesions were more evident, 63% of al cases.…”
