Limb Ischemia Due to Use of Internal Thoracic Artery in Coronary Bypass

Immediately after undergoing coronary bypass grafting using the left internal thoracic artery, a 59-year-old man developed left leg ischemia. Right-to-left femoral artery crossover bypass was performed and the ischemia resolved. A 72-year-old man developed left calf pain 12 days after a similar proc...

Description
Summary:Immediately after undergoing coronary bypass grafting using the left internal thoracic artery, a 59-year-old man developed left leg ischemia. Right-to-left femoral artery crossover bypass was performed and the ischemia resolved. A 72-year-old man developed left calf pain 12 days after a similar procedure; peripheral angiography revealed stenosis of the abdominal aorta and distal peripheral arteries, which did not require intervention.
