Abstract

Spontaneous left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft dissection is a rare condition, and clinical findings remain to be elucidated. We report a case of LIMA graft dissection diagnosed by a coronary computed tomography and intravascular ultrasound. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous intervention. We also conducted a literature review of published cases and summarized the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.

Keywords: Left internal mammary artery graft; Spontaneous dissection.
