Left internal mammary artery graft retransplantation from the recipient to the donor heart: a case report
Abstract
A case of heart transplantation with concomitant coronary artery bypass graft is reported. The patient was an alternate transplant list candidate with a history of bilateral below-knee amputation and 2 previous myocardial revascularization procedures. The previously used and patent left internal mammary artery graft was successfully removed and retransplanted from the recipient to the donor heart.
