ΑΝΑΤΟΜΙΚΗ ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΤΗΣ ΚΥΡΙΑΣ ΑΡΤΗΡΙΑΣ ΤΟΥ ΠΛΑΤΥ ΡΑΧΙΑΙΟΥ ΜΥ (ΘΩΡΑΚΟΡΡΑΧΙΑΙΑ ΑΡΤΗΡΙΑ) ΚΑΙ Η ΚΛΙΝΙΚΗ ΤΗΣ ΣΗΜΑΣΙΑ

IN THE PRESENT THESIS THE ANATOMY OF THE MAIN ARTERY OF THE LATISSIMUS DORSI (L.D) MUSCLE IS STUDIED. IN THE FIRST PART, THE ANATOMY OF THE L.D. IS DESCRIBED WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO ITS VASCULAR ANATOMICAL FEATURES. THE CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE L.D. MUSCULAR OR MYOCUTANEOUS FLAP (PEDICLE ISLAND FLAP ORFREE FLAP) FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF THE HEAD AND NECK AREA, THE TRUNCK (SHOULDER, BREAST, CHEST WALL, BACK, INTRATHORACIC APPLICATIONS), THE EXTREMITIES (RECONSTRUCTION OR/AND FUNCTIONAL MUSCLE TRANSFER) ARE PRESENTED. IN THE SECOND PART, OUR CADAVERIC DISSECTIONS OF THE THORACODORSAL ARTERY, ARE PRESENTED WITH THEIR STUDY (MEASUREMENTS-LENGTH, DIAMETER-PATHOLOGIC STUDY AND INTRAMUSCULAR VASCULAR ANATOMY). OUR CLINICAL CASES ARE PRESENTED TOO. THE THORACODORSAL ARTERY IS CONSTANT WITHOUT ANY VARIATION OR ANOMALY. THE SIZE-LENGTH OF THIS ARTERY MAKE THE L.D. AN IDEAL PEDICLE (ARC OF ROTATION) OR FREE FLAP. THE TERRITORY OF THE L.D. AND ITS OVERLYING SKIN IS PERFUSED BY THE THORACODORSAL ARTERY AT THE UPPER TWO-THIRD PARTS OF THE MUSCULOCUTANEOUS AREA. THERE IS A RICH ANASTOMOTIC NETWORK BETWEEN THE MAIN AND THE AUXILIARY SUPPLY SYSTEM. AFTER THE HILUM OF THE L.D. THERE IS A BIFURCATION OF THE NEUROVASCULAR TRUNK IN TWO INDEPENDENT BRANCHES WITHIN THE MUSCLE SUBSTANCE, RUNNING PARALLEL TO THE MUSCLE FIBRES AND ACCOMPANIED BY THE VEIN AND NERVE. THIS FEATURE INABLES THE L.D. TOSPLIT INTO TWO INDEPENDENTLY SUPPLIED UNITS AND TO BE USED CLINICALLY AS A SPLIT FLAP. DURING THIS STUDY, NO SIGNS OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS WERE NOTED; THIS IS -ACCORDING TO OUR OPINION - AN ENCOURAGING SIGN FOR CLINICAL APPLICATIONS IN PRACTICE AND NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION.
