title: [Features of topographic anatomy of internal thoracic and right gastro-omental arteries as applied to coronary shunting].
abstract: The aim of the study was to specify topographoanatomic features of internal thoracic artery (ITA) and right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) for optimization of surgical and endoscopic methods of their mobilization. The study was carried out on 50 cadavers (27 men, 23 women) aged from 29 to 82 years (mean age 59 years). The following topographic parameters of the conduits were evaluated: disposition of the artery ostium; presence and disposition of parietal branches; presence and disposition of visceral branches; type of a terminal part of the artery; interdisposition with surrounding anatomic structures. It was found that topographic anatomy of ITA and RGEA permits one to use effectively mini-invasive and endoscopic methods of their mobilization and therefore, to reduce rate of complications and to optimize methods of ITA and RGEA effective use.
