Below is a sample of the question and answer with discussion.

Based on this image, the previous coronary bypass procedure most likely utilized which of the following blood vessels?

1. One arterial internal mammary artery (IMA) graft and at least one vein graft
2. Two arterial grafts (IMA) and at least one vein graft
3. No arterial grafts and at least two vein grafts
4. At least three vein grafts

Correct answer: B

Discussion: There are no vessels in the chest wall adjacent to either border of the sternum, indicating that both internal mammary arteries have been used as arterial grafts (see arrows in image below). In addition, one vein graft anastomosis (in a somewhat atypical position) can be seen (arrowhead).
