Left coronary artery
The LCA supplies
Left atrium • Most of left ventricle • Part of the right ventricle • Anterior two thirds of the inter ventricular septum • The sino atrial node (remaining 40%
Right coronary artery supply
Right atrium
• Diaphragmatic part of the right ventricle
• Usually the posterior third of the interventricular septum
• The sino atrial node (60% cases)
• The atrio ventricular node
Thoracic Outlet
Where the subclavian artery and vein and the brachial plexus exit the thorax and enter the arm.
• They pass over the 1st rib and under the clavicle.
• The subclavian vein is the most anterior structure and is immediately anterior to scalenus
anterior and its attachment to the first rib.
• Scalenus anterior has 2 parts, the subclavian artery leaves the thorax by passing over the
first rib and between these 2 portions of the muscle.
• At the level of the first rib, the lower cervical nerve roots combine to form the 3 trunks of the
brachial plexus. The lowest trunk is formed by the union of C8 and T1, and this trunk lies directly posterior to the artery and is in contact with the superior surface of the first rib
safe triangle’. The triangle is located in the mid axillary line of the 5th intercostal space. It is bordered by:
nterior edge latissimus dorsi,
the lateral border of pectoralis major,
a line superior to the horizontal level of the nipple,
and the apex below the axilla.
Where is the Conus arteriosus
The conus arteriosus (infundibulum) is the smooth walled outflow tract of the right ventricle leading to the pulmonary trunk.
