Internal Thoracic Artery (ITA): Also known as the internal mammary artery (IMA). These vessels are found on each side of the sternum. Most commonly the left ITA is used for bypassing the left anterior descending artery. Once dissected from the chest wall the left ITA (LITA or LIMA), is detached at its distal end to be used for bypass. The proximal end is left in its natural anatomic position.
