Abstract
Interval development of a significant stenosis at the origin of the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) after this vessel has been used to revascularize the anterior descending coronary artery may be an indication for reoperation. We present an extrathoracic approach to bypass the proximal segment of the LITA that allows patients with this lesion a quick recovery, short hospital stay, and early resumption of normal activity.
