PCI stenting restores patency and relieves symptoms in a LIMA graft encased by adenosquamous carcinoma.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This is the first reported case of a rare lung cancer (adenosquamous carcinoma) encasing and obstructing a LIMA to LAD bypass graft.
May guide PCI consideration in rare LIMA graft compression by malignancy; first report leaves open generalizability.
We report a case of a patient with a previous coronary artery bypass graft who presented with chest pain and was found to have adenosquamous carcinoma encasing the left internal mammary graft to left anterior descending arterythe only viable vessel to his coronary circulation.Adenosquamous carcinoma, a rare lung cancer with a poor prognosis, causing obstruction of a bypass graft has not been previously reported.

Solanki et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Adenosquamous carcinoma encasing LIMA graft (n=1). Percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting was evaluated on Symptom relief and graft patency.
