RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRACHEAL BIFURCATION AND PULMONARY TRUNK BIFURCATIONS

Sweta Maurya, Anita Tuli

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Ventral side of the pulmonary trunk bifurcation corresponds to tracheal bifurcation.The pulmonary trunk is slightly more caudal then tracheal bifurcation and is related to it. OBJECTIVE: The recognition of relation of tracheal bifurcation and pulmonary trunk bifurcation to prevent to avoid the devascularization of a lobe or segment left in place during pulmonary excision. METHODS: Trachea with right and left principle onchus and heart with pulmonary trunk obtained from 30 cadavers of age group 18–75 yrs on whom medicolegal postmortem had been conducted in the department of Anatomy and Forensic , LHMC &SSKH . RESULTS: The tracheal bifurcation formed an angle of 76° , the bifurcation of trachea and pulmonary trunk makes a triangular ,rectangular , quadrangular and asymmetric interbifurcal space. The pulmonary artery trunk is located about 3 cm caudal to the tracheal bifurcation. CONCLUSIONS :Recognition of pulmonary artery anches variation is necessary to avoid devascularization of lobe during its resection.
