Description
Summary:Abstract Postoperative angina is generally caused by subclavian artery stenosis or flow diversion in anomalous or large unligated side branches of the left internal mammary artery.

Herein, we present successful endovascular treatment of a large unligated intercostal side branch causing recurrent angina.
