ABSTRACT
Myocardial revascularization using the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) has become a standard method for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery due to its long-term graft patency and lower repeated revascularization rate compared to a saphenous vein graft. The prevalence of significant subclavian artery stenosis was reported to be 0.2-6.8% in patients undergoing CABG surgery using LITA. We present a case of 49-year-old female patient who complained of resting chest pain and left arm pain after CABG surgery using the LITA. NSTEMI was caused by de novo subtotal left subclavian artery stenosis proximal to the LITA. The left subclavian artery was successfully stented, and the patient experienced complete relief of pain.
