摘要： Introduction
The use of the internal mammary artery (IMA) in coronary artery bypass graft(CABG) for myocardial revascularization is gaining popularity in routine practice,especially when the target vessel is the left anterior descending artery (LAD).Occasionally,IMA hypoperfusion occurs when there is inadequate flow through the IMA graft to the LAD artery due to the exist of lateral branches.4,5 The graft hypoperfusion can occur both acutely and chronically resulting inmaiperfusion syndrome and dysfunctional graft with persistent ischemia in the region of supply.
