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.

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery published a study on November 1, 2013, that confirmed MICS CABG as safe, feasible, and associated with excellent graft patency rates at 6 months post surgery, with graft patency of 92% for all grafts and 100% for left internal thoracic artery grafts. Coronary artery bypass graft patency was ...
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.
George E. Green is an American cardiac surgeon best known for pioneering and implementing the first surgical procedure of the left coronary artery bypass graft using the internal thoracic artery sutured to the left anterior descending coronary artery to bypass obstruction to the heart circulation in the late 1960s.

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 ) Topics referred to by the same term
(There is another artery that is called external mammary artery). Mammary signifies that it mostly supplies mammaries, mammaries are the breasts we have. So the artery that runs parallel and somewhat left to our sternum, inside of the ribs, is called left internal mammary artery or LIMA. There is another one in the right side, it is called Righ ...
In a study designed and published by the Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular Institute, [6] routine intraoperative completion angiography performed in a fully functional hybrid operation room detected important defects in 97 of 796 (12% of the grafts) venous coronary artery bypass grafts in 366 adult patients (14% of the patients) with complex ...
