  • Title: Atherosclerosis of the internal mammary artery.
    Author: Kay HR, Korns ME, Flemma RJ, Tector AJ, Lepley D.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1976 Jun; 21(6):504-7. PubMed ID: 1275603.
    Abstract:
    To better evaluate the incidence of atherosclerosis in the internal mammary artery (IMA), 215 IMA segments from routine postmortem examinations were evaluated microscopically. Significant atherosclerotic narrowing was seen in 9 patients (4.2%). No patient had more than a 50% reduction in lumen diameter. The degree of incipient atherosclerosis correlated well with age, hypertension, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease.
