Remarkable growth of the internal mammary artery used for systemic-to- pulmonary artery shunt in a patient with cyanotic heart disease

T Sakai, Y Ueda, H Ogino and K Morioka
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Tenri Hospital, Nara, Japan.

The left internal mammary artery-to-the left pulmonary artery shunt was created in a 16-year-old boy with single ventricle, severe pulmonary stenosis palliated by Glenn shunt at the age of two. Four years follow- up angiogram demonstrated a significant increase of the diameter of the left internal mammary artery from 4 to 7 mm. The internal mammary artery is a good alternative conduit for a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt for a cyanotic heart disease because of its growth potential.
