Fig. 1
Computed tomography and angiography of the LIMA graft. The arrows mark the course of the LIMA graft. The left plane of the figure shows transversal computed tomographic images at different levels: a level of the sternoclavicular joint. b and c level of the sternal corpus. d distal from the corpomanubrial junction. e level of the LIMA to LAD anastomosis. The right plane shows the angiographic image of the LIMA graft. LIMA left internal mammary artery, LAD left anterior descending coronary artery
