Abstract
The major problem associated with the long‐term patency of the internal mammary artery graft is the early occurrence of stenosis usually at its distal anastomotic site; its management by balloon angioplasty has been associated with a high success rate. We report the case of an unsuccessful balloon angioplasty of an anastomotic stenosis of a left internal mammary artery graft that was successfully managed by stenting with one‐half of a Palmaz‐Schatz stent. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss,Inc..Keywords
