Abstract

Some different revascularization methods including coronary artery bypass surgery can be performed in the treatment of coronary artery disease. Saphenous vein grafts and/or arterial grafts including left internal mammary artery (LIMA) can be implanted during coronary bypass surgery. It is necessary to perform cannulation of the LIMA, in order to diagnose and treat these patients. In addition to conventional internal mammary artery catheters, several types of catheters can be used for this purpose.,In general, LIMA catheterization via the femoral artery has been preferred over other methods. However, the right brachial arterial approach can be mandatory in some rare conditions.,In this report, we describe an alternative method to the conventional techniques of the LIMA graft angiography via the right brachial arterial approach using a MANI catheter. According to our knowledge, no data are available using the MANI catheter for this purpose in the current literature.
