ABSTRACT
The prevalence of the aneurysm, tortuosity, and kinking of abdominal aorta and iliac arteries is important for primary consideration in operative planning. The present study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of abnormality of abdominal aorta and iliac arteries and demonstrate the patterns of kinking external iliac arteries in Thai cadavers. Eighty-five Thai embalmed cadavers (58 males and 27 females) were observed and measured the diameter of abdominal aorta and iliac arteries using a vernier caliper for assessment of aortic aneurysm (AAA). To investigate the tortuosity and kinking of iliac arteries, a standard goniometer was applied to measure the individual angle of iliac artery. In addition, the kinking patterns of external iliac artery were classified. The prevalence of AAA was 4.71% and the aneurysms of common and internal iliac arteries were 4.12 and 0.59%. The tortuosity of common and external iliac arteries were 1.76 and 20%. No tortuosity of internal iliac artery was observed. In addition, the kinking of common, external, and internal iliac arteries were 4.71, 16.47, and 1.18%, respectively. Moreover, the patterns of external iliac aortic kinking were classified into 4 major types (S-shape; reversed ­C shape; low grade shape; and V-shape). We have observed the prevalence of the aneurysm, tortuosity, and kinking of abdominal aorta and iliac arteries in Thai cadavers. Currently, the 4 kinking variations of external iliac arteries were also first demonstrated.
RESUMEN
La prevalencia de aneurisma, tortuosidad y torsión de la parte abdominal de la aorta y arterias ilíacas es relevante para la consideración primaria en la planificación quirúrgica. Se realizó un estudio para investigar la prevalencia de alteraciones en las parte abdominal de la aorta y arterias ilíacas y demostrar los patrones de torsión en las arterias ilíacas externas de cadáveres tailandeses. Se observaron 85 cadáveres tailandeses embalsamados (58 hombres y 27 mujeres); se midió el diámetro de la parte abdominal de la aorta y arterias ilíacas utilizando un pie de metro para la evaluación de aneurisma aórtico. Para investigar la tortuosidad y torsión de las arterias ilíacas, se utilizó un goniómetro estándar para medir el ángulo individual de la arteria ilíaca. Además, se clasificaron los patrones de torsión de las arterias ilíacas externas. La prevalencia de aneurisma aórtico fue 4,71% y los aneurismas de las arterias ilíacas comunes e internas fueron 4,12% y 0,59%. La tortuosidad de las arterias ilíacas comunes y externas fueron 1,76% y 20%. No se observó tortuosidad de la arteria ilíaca interna. Además, la torsión de las arterias ilíacas comunes, externas e internas fueron 4,71%, 16,47% y 1,18%, respectivamente. Por otra parte, los patrones de torsión fueron clasificados en 4 tipos principales (formas de S, de C invertida; de bajo grado y en V). Observamos la presencia de aneurisma, tortuosidad y torsión de la parte abdominal de la aorta y arterias ilíacas en cadáveres tailandeses. Demostramos también por primera vez, las 4 variaciones de torsión de las arterias ilíacas externas.
