| Popis: | Percutaneous transbrachial insertion of a metallic coil into the first intercostal branch of the left internal mammary artery resulted in resolution of severe angina in a 60-year-old man who had coronary artery bypass surgery 14 years previously. The diagnosis of coronary artery steal was made clinically. This case illustrates the importance of recognising coronary steal in patients who redevelop angina after coronary artery surgery with the use of an incompletely prepared left internal mammary artery as a conduit. The diagnosis can be made clinically and the condition treated without the need for further surgery. |
