Abstract:
The types of ramification of the aortic arch in 330 Chinese adults and childrenwere studied. Twelve types were observed, among which type A was found to be the most common(83.0?2.06%), type B (9.1?1.58%) and type C (3.4?0.9%) came next in order, theremaining types constitute only 4.5?1.0%. In type A, the three great vessels whichsupply the head, neck and upper limbs arise at the upper border of the arch. In comparison with the Japanese, English and Russian data, there is no significantdifference in the incidence of type A, B and C. On the other hand, the percentage oftype A is lower, while type B and others are higher in the American than in the Chinese.There is neither age nor sexual difference in type distribution in the Chinese. The clinical significance of the cases with abnormalities in the right subclavianartery and right aortic arch accompanied by abnormal left subclavian artery was discussed.
