Anomalous Origin of Left Internal Thoracic Artery from the Second Intercostal Artery

Left internal thoracic artery (LITA) has increased importance and common use in coronary bypass grafting because of long-term better patency rate and improvement in both the duration and quality of survival of patients. LITA is a branch of the first part of the subclavian artery. We report a case in...
