To evaluate, on a retrospective basis, the anatomic characteristics of the arterial supply to the sinoatrial node (SAN) in the Korean population using an ECG-gated multi-detector CT (MDCT).
The electrocardiographic-gated MDCTs of 500 patients (258 men and 242 women; age range, 17-83 years; mean age, 58.6 ± 12.04 years) were analyzed retrospectively. In each case, the SAN artery (arteries) was named according to a special nomenclature with regard to origin, course, and termination.
A total of 516 SAN arteries were visualized in 496 patients. The SAN was supplied by a single artery in 476 (96.4%) cases and by 2 arteries in 18 (3.6%) cases. The SAN originated from the right coronary artery in 265 (53.4%) cases and from the left circumflex in 213 (43%) cases.
This study can provide basic data on variations of the SAN artery in the Korean population.
回顾性评估心电图门控多排 CT(MDCT)在韩国人群中心房结(SAN)动脉供血的解剖特征。
对 500 例患者(258 例男性,242 例女性;年龄 17-83 岁;平均年龄 58.6±12.04 岁)的心电图门控 MDCT 进行回顾性分析。在每种情况下,SAN 动脉(动脉)根据起源、走行和终止的特殊命名法进行命名。
496 例患者中可显示 516 条 SAN 动脉。SAN 由单一动脉供血的有 476 例(96.4%),由 2 条动脉供血的有 18 例(3.6%)。SAN 起源于右冠状动脉的有 265 例(53.4%),起源于左回旋支的有 213 例(43%)。
本研究可为韩国人群中 SAN 动脉变异提供基础数据。
