Abstract
Coronary artery bypass grafting is a common surgical procedure that often uses the saphenous vein, internal thoracic artery, or radial artery as a conduit to improve blood circulation to the heart. When a blockage or impediment to arterial flow is noted, this procedure is undertaken to ensure the myocardium receives the blood it needs to function optimally. Infrequently, dermatoses overlying the conduit site may be observed, notably with the saphenous vein harvest site. Here we report the first case of sclerodermiform dermatitis occurring at the internal thoracic artery donor graft site. This unique case is important for providers to be aware of when evaluating a patient post-operatively who presents with new-onset dermatologic changes at the site of previous donor harvesting to ensure optimal treatment and management.
