Abstract:
Objective To study the anatomical characteristics of ascending aortic and aortic arch in adult Chinese. Methods From Sep 2006 to Sep 2007, we retrospectivly reviewed 388 volunteers undergoing thoracic aorta CTA in our institution. We measured the diameter of ascending aorta, aortic arch, and branch vessels of aortic arch respectively in AW4.2 work station. CHESS statistical software was used to analyze data. Results The aortic diameter above coronary artery (CA) (D1), the level at origin of brachiocephalie trunk (BCT) ( D3 ), the halfway of the AA( D2 ), the level at origin of LCCA( D4 ) , the level at origin of LSA ( D5 ) and the level at distal origin of LSA ( D6 ) respectively are: ( 34 ± 5 ) mm; ( 33 ± 4) mm; ( 34 ± 5 ) mm; ( 30 ± 4) mm; ( 28 ± 3 ) mm; ( 26 ± 3 ) mm. The diameters of two level between the origin of BCT and RSA are ( 13. 1 ± 1.9) mm, ( 12. 8±2. 3) mm, respectively. The diameter of two level at LCCA is ( 8. 7 ± 1.5 )mm and ( 7. 9 ± 1. 0) mm respectively. The diameter of two level between the origin of LSA and L-vertebral arteryis (10.7±1.7) mm,(9.3±1.3) mm, respectively. Conclusion The data of the diameter and length of ascending aort and vasculature arising from the arch abtained by CT topography in Chinese volunteers are very useful for clinical practice.
