Abstract:
Specific techniques have been described for performing a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) angiography through the right radial approach. The unsuccessful LIMA angiography in anatomic situations, such as aorta dilatation or a far distal anatomical origin of the LIMA, among others, is a main problem not yet solved even with these techniques. In this report, we describe a simple and ready maneuver that can be helpful for a successful LIMA angiography in such situations.
