We have studied the vasa vasorum of the human thoracic aorta using a polyester resin casting technique, coupled with the tissue clearing method of Spalteholz. We found that the vasa vasorum originated from intercostal arteries. They ramified and formed networks within the aortic adventitia and the outer layers of the media. Venous networks were identified in the adventitia as wall. In addition to being a usefull research tool, the methodology utilized in this study produces specimens that can be used in teaching vascular anatomy to medical students.
我们采用聚酯树脂铸型技术并结合施帕尔托霍尔茨组织透明法，对人类胸主动脉的滋养血管进行了研究。我们发现，滋养血管起源于肋间动脉。它们分支并在主动脉外膜和中膜外层形成网络。在外膜中也确定存在静脉网络。本研究中使用的方法不仅是一种有用的研究工具，还能制作出可用于向医学生讲授血管解剖学的标本。
