Abbott's artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

|April 1, 1982

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Abbott's artery, an anomalous vessel often found during coarctation of the aorta repair, may have varied reported origins. The term effectively alerts surgeons to potential vascular anomalies in this congenital heart defect.

Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Surgery
Pediatric Cardiology
Medical Terminology

Background:

Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital narrowing of the aorta.
Anatomical variations can complicate surgical repair.
Abbott's artery is a recognized but variably described anomalous vessel.

Purpose of the Study:

To clarify the origin and significance of Abbott's artery.
To emphasize the importance of recognizing this anomaly during aortic surgeries.
To ensure accurate anatomical descriptions in surgical literature.

Main Methods:

Review of historical surgical literature.
Analysis of reported cases describing Abbott's artery.
Comparison of anatomical descriptions with original findings.

Main Results:

The term Abbott's artery was introduced by Schuster and Gross.
Numerous, often conflicting, origins have been attributed to this anomalous vessel.
The original description's correlation with reported sites is inconsistent.

Conclusions:

Abbott's artery is a clinically relevant anomaly during coarctation of the aorta repair.
The term serves as a crucial alert for surgeons regarding potential vascular anomalies.
Consistent anatomical understanding and reporting are vital for surgical planning.
