We performed dissection of internal thoracic artery using sternal retracor for I.T.A. made by Delacroix Chevalier in France. This retractor composed of 5 elements i.e. arms, cranking axe, two assymetric claws and assymetric valve. This retractor is entirely reversible, so the same apparatus is used for left and light dissections. We concluded that this retractor has minimal risk to internal organs and the best position for exposure of I.T.A.
