Most commonly, the left internal thoracic artery (LITA; formerly, left internal mammary artery, LIMA) is anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) because the LAD is the most significant artery of the heart and supplies blood to a larger portion of myocardium than other arteries. [21]
MICS CABG allows utilization of the left internal mammary artery (IMA; aka left internal thoracic artery, left ITA) to bypass the left anterior descending artery (LAD), which is termed as left IMA-LAD, as a preferable anastomosis whenever indicated and technically feasible (Loop et al.) and has been proven to benefit in event free survival ...
The internal thoracic artery (ITA), also known as the internal mammary artery, is an artery that supplies the anterior chest wall and the breasts. [1] It is a paired artery, with one running along each side of the sternum , to continue after its bifurcation as the superior epigastric and musculophrenic arteries .

Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), or beating-heart surgery, is a form of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery performed without cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine) as a treatment for coronary heart disease. It was primarily developed in the early 1990s by Dr. Amano Atsushi.
Mammary artery may refer to: the internal thoracic artery (previously known as the internal mammary artery) The internal thoracic artery is commonly chosen as a graft artery during coronary artery bypass graft surgery. the lateral thoracic artery (previously known as the external mammary artery
Coronary artery bypass surgery involves an artery or vein from the patient being implanted to bypass narrowings or occlusions in the coronary arteries. Several arteries and veins can be used, however internal mammary artery grafts have demonstrated significantly better long-term patency rates than great saphenous vein grafts. [ 40 ]
Coronary angiography of a critical sub-occlusion of the common trunk of the left coronary artery and the circumflex artery. (See arrows) During coronary catheterization (often referred to as a "cath" or "cardiac cath" by physicians), blood pressures are recorded and fluoroscopy ( X-ray motion picture ) shadow-grams of the blood inside the ...
