AW: [HSF] Abnormal LIMA

[Dr. Roberto Battellini]

We do the same as you did. With Intuition and experience. Last year we
discarded a big atherosclerotic LIMA in an coarctatio aortae operated
patient who came 30 years later for AVR (bicuspid valve) and bypass. I have
discarded also many  radial arteries because of calcification.

In a similar "vein", I am wondering what do do when I take down a LIMA and
it 
has small islands of non obstructive plaque.  I have seen this mostly in 
young diabetics and went ahead and used them documenting good flow at
completion 
with Medi-stem.  What do others think?
