Abstract
Background: The impact of post-mortem angiography increases because of the rapid evaluation of organ-specific vascular patterns, vascular alteration under pathologic and physiologic conditions and tissue changes induced by artificial and unnatural causes. Aim: To study the human heart arterial patterns and their variation by using post-mortem arteriogram. Materials and Methods: Eighty human fresh heart specimens were obtained from the Forensic Department, S.V. Medical College, Tirupati. The hearts were perfused with normal saline followed by injection of barium sulphate suspension and ligated at the proximal end of coronary arteries. Skiagrams were taken in different views and studied. Results: we have observed all the branches of right and left coronary arteries. The right and left dominance pattern, Vieussens annulus, anastomosis between the great blood vessels and posterior interventricular branches, AV nodal, SA nodal branches and variations of branches were noted in our study Conclusion: Our study will be useful in analyzing the arterial system of the heart and gives valuable supplement to conventional autopsy procedures.
