VARIATION IN AORTIC ARCH BRANCHES - A CADAVERIC CASE STUDY

Dr. Swarup P. Kulkarni, Dr. Rajendra V. Pakkannavar

Abstract :

Considering the human anatomy of the heart, particularly arteries of the heart, it consists of ascending aorta, arch of aorta, descending thoracic aorta, abdominal aorta along with the right and left coronary arteries which supplies the heart. Ascending aorta begins from left ventricle then it continues as arch of aorta. Arch of aorta generally gives three anches. On the right side, anch is called as achiocephalic trunk which further divides into right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery. On the left side arch of aorta gives two anches as left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery. In this cadaveric case study, during the first year undergraduate course dissection, the arch of aorta was having four separate anches. On the right side, right common carotid artery, right subclavian artery. On the left side left common carotid artery and on slightly left posterior part there was left subclavian artery. This kind of variation in the anching pattern of arch of aorta is of importance for surgeons as well as clinicians in the treatment aspects.
