Abstract

Poor clinical results with intermal mammary artery (IMA) have been arttributed to to inadequate flow. In this report we presented a case with angina recurred after bypass surgery including LMA-LAD graft due to ste¬al phenomenon caused by a large barnch of LIMA. Transcatheter coil occlusion of this branch was successfully performed.
