Keeping a patent left internal mammary artery (LIMA) at re-operation is a challenging task. This crucial graft can be damaged at sternal re-entry for redo surgery in various steps. We devised a technique to minimise this risk. The result of this technique is a patent LIMA routed through a trans pleural tunnel, away from the midline and protected by a layer of the parietal pleura, pleuro-
