In this case report we describe how to recycle the Left Internal Thoracic Artery (LITA) when misused but not damaged. 8 years after a Left Anterior Small Thoracotomy followed by LAD stenting for STEMI in 1st post-operative day, a 67 years old woman had a NSTEMI with angiographic evidence of intra-stent re-stenosis with a perfectly patent LITA, harvested only from the 4th to the 6th intercostal space. During redo surgery, LITA was harvested as a pedicle from the anastomosis to the 4th intercostal space and primarily from the 1st to the 4th intercostal space. Special attention was paid at the level of the 4th intercostal space where the vessel was stuck to the sternum: a 15 blade was used being scissors or cautery too dangerous. At the end of harvesting, the LITA was full-length available for a new coronary anastomosis on LAD, distal to the previous one.

The aim of this study was to determine the most efficient design of composite grafts and clarify the technical feasibility rate of composite grafting using internal thoracic artery exclusively in patients undergoing triple-vessel revascularization. Retrospective analysis of 104 consecutive patients was carried out. An in situ left internal thoracic artery graft for the left anterior descending artery area, with attachment of the right internal thoracic artery to the side of the left internal thoracic artery to revascularize the circumflex and right coronary vessels, was the most efficient graft design. The technical feasibility rate was 80% (83/104 patients). The mean number of distal anastomoses for the entire group was 3.8 ± 0.8 per patient. Intraoperative left internal thoracic artery flow rate was 91.6 ± 37.8 mL·min−1. With more experience, it is thought that the technical feasibility rate could be increased.
