Abstract

The internal thoracic artery (ITA) is the primary graft for coronary artery bypass grafting and cannot be used if there is subclavian artery stenosis (SAS). Aorto-axillary, carotid-subclavian bypass and also angioplasty with stenting or other interventional treatments are acceptable procedures for SAS treatment. Aorta-ITA bypass with saphenous vein can be alternative and simple technique for SAS to save Winslow pathway for patients with peripheral artery disease.
