A summary of Vineberg's experimental pioneer work on the internal mammary artery implant is presented, together with comments on the clinical series and the difficulty in evaluating the results before the era of coronary angiography. A plea is made for recognition of the fact that an implanted internal mammary artery can arborize and communicate with the native coronary arteries.
