What is a beef arch?

variant of the beef aortic arch, often known as a bovine arch, is the abnormality in the branching of the aortic arch of the human heart. The variant is characterized by a deviation in a standard branch, which usually includes a separate origin for three main branches: brachiocephalic - or innocent - artery, left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery. In the beef variant, either brachiocephalic artery and left common carotid artery origin, or the left carotid artery is located as a branch of brachiocephalic arteries.

The name is an incorrect correlation with the anatomy of the real beef heart in which the only brachiocephaleic trunk branches into bilateral subclavian arteries and the bicarotide of the strain. The configuration called the "Bovine Arch" in the human heart is actually rare between the cattle. Although the incorrect term source is unknown, it persists as a common incorrect name despite the extended Awareness of the wrong description between the medical community. Many experts proposed or acceptedAbout a number of alternative standards of names for the condition.

Although the bovine arch is one of the most common heart variants, it is still relatively rare in humans, and the occurrences have been reported in 15% of patients observed in the medical community. Statistics show a higher level of the variant of the aortic arch between Africans and African -Americans. In cardiac radiology, beef is referred to as normal variations of conventional configuration. Although the medical community is generally considered insignificant, some experts have proposed a connection between the bovine arch and the aneurysm of the aortic aortic chest aortic (TAA). Other studies combined the condition with possible predilection for blunt damage to the innocent artery, in which the higher incidence of WAS state discovered during the injury settings.

At present, there is no "medicine" for a variant of a bovine arch, although the theoretical possibilities of non -harmful corrective transplants and grafts have been designed. Unusual conFigure of the beef arc led to some reported problems with treatment of aorta, such as stenting carotid artery. This procedure uses non -invasive methods to treat blockages and other heart complications that could lead to moves. The procedure uses the catheter to perform non -surgical entry into the artery in an effort to repair the narrowed area. The use of a transradial stent of carotid artery in cases of beef anatomy allows access to the left or right arm, depending on the method used.
