Vasospasm is often faced after the operative preparation of internal thoracic artery. Different vasodilating pharmacological agents are being used to eliminate this problem. During the preparation of internal thoracic artery, normal, local, and systemic temperatures are lost. We aimed to find out the effect of this decrease in temperature on the free flow of internal thoracic artery.
