Extracardiac collaterals generally from bronchial and internal thoracic arteries to coronary circulation have been described in the literature. In this report, we present a case of 59-year-old male patient with collaterals from the left internal thoracic artery to the left anterior descending artery developed after coronary artery bypass grafting and aneurysmectomy surgery. It is likely the collaterals developed as a result of the postoperative adhesions.
