In human anatomy the internal thoracic artery (ITA) previously known as the internal mammary artery (a name still common among surgeons[citation needed]) is an artery that supplies the anterior chest wall and the breasts. It is a paired artery with one running along each side of the sternum to continue after its bifurcation as the superior epigastric and musculophrenic arteries.
