The anatomy and catheterization techniques of the internal mammary artery (i.m.a.) are described. The diagnostic criteria and importance of i.m.a. angiography in thymoma, lymphoma, carcinoma, parathyroid adenoma, diseases of the breast, and trauma are discussed. The role of i.m.a. catheterization for i.a. infusion therapy in lung carcinoma, mesothelioma and chest wall metastases of breast carcinoma and embolization of i.m.a. in bleeding following trauma or tumour ulceration are described. Transcatheter treatment of mediastinal parathyroid adenoma is also described.
