Abstract
Despite its tortuous course and small caliber, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of the internal mammary artery can be performed with a high initial success rate (82–94%). The successful deployment of a balloon expandable coll stent at the mid‐right internal mammary artery in a patient with recurrent stenosis of that graft is reported.Keywords
