Abstract

Background: The aim of present study is to evaluate the pattern of occurrence of Brocq and Mouchet’s arterio-venous triangle in human cadavers. Methods: The present study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy at SRMS IMS, Bareilly from 2012-2014. Thirty human cadavers of both sexes fixed in 10 % formalin were dissected to observe the triangle of Brocq and Mouchet. Results: The triangle was closed in 17 cadaveric hearts (56.66%). The triangle was opened in 13 cadaveric hearts (43.33%).It was opened inferiorly & superiorly in 5 cadaveric hearts (16.66%) each. The triangle was opened completely in rest of 3 cadaveric hearts (10%). Conclusions: The triangle of Brocq and Mouchet is commonly used when performing an intravascular ultrasound of coronary arteries to help in identifying pericardium, myocardium and vessels in the neighborhood. Keywords: Brocq, Mouchet, Triangle closed, Opened, Great, Cardiac, Vein, Artery.

Abstract

Background: The aim of present study was to study morphology of middle cardiac vein in human hearts. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on middle cardiac vein of thirty human hearts with due clearance from ethical committee. Results: The mean diameter of middle cardiac vein was 2.57 1.16 mm and the mean length was 74.69 21.10 mm. There was also statistically significant relationship between length of middle cardiac vein and weight of cadaver. In some hearts middle cardiac vein and small cardiac vein together form common trunk and then drain into coronary sinus. Conclusion: Middle cardiac vein can be used for radio frequency ablation of a posteroseptal pathway. It can also be used for newer interventional technique such as selective catheterization. It may be one of the choices of implantation of pacing leads. Keywords: Cardiac, Vein, Middle, Hearts.
