Abstract
We describe the first reported case of an internal mammary artery orig inating from the junction of the left subclavian artery and aorta. Not ing this, along with other reported anomalies and various pathologic c onditions, it appears warranted to perform routine preoperative intern al mammary artery angiography before coronary artery bypass surgery.
