Peripheral Nerve Injury in Cardiac Surgery
2018, Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular AnesthesiaCitation Excerpt :Conacher et al67 made the same observation in 2 patients who developed atypical, nonanginal chest pain after IMA harvesting. Later, Eng et al68 evaluated 178 patients and found a strong correlation between left-sided chest wall dysesthesias and IMA harvest, implicating injury to the intercostal nerves as playing a primary role in the syndrome. Mailis et al then confirmed their earlier findings with a new study of 37 patients who underwent CABG with IMA harvest and reported 27 (73%) had definite anterior intercostal nerve damage and 4 (15%) had persistent spontaneous pain 5 to 28 months later.69

2011, Cardiovascular Revascularization MedicineCitation Excerpt :In some patients, diversion of blood from myocardium into intercostal or pericardial branches of the internal mammary artery may cause coronary steal. Visualization of large LIMA side branches in patients with recurrent post-CAB angina does not necessarily imply that a steal syndrome is occurring [10,11]. On the other hand, symptomatic relief and occasionally reversal of “stress test” ischemia have been achieved by side branch occlusions [1,5,7].
