Abstract
For decades, the arch of aorta has been an area of interest for many cardiothoracic surgeons, researchers in radiology and researchers in anatomical sciences. The increasing rate of pathologies and surgical complications involving the cardiovascular system has served to propel further research in developmental and adult anatomical features of the arch of aorta. The present study, set out to determine the anatomical variation in the dimension and prediction of aortic arch dimensions in some States in South-South Nigeria using computed tomography scan.
