Assessment of the abdominal aorta regarding its morphology, morphometry, and concomitant pathologies associated with abdominal aorta aneurysm

Key Points

Four out of twenty cadavers showed abdominal aorta aneurysm, indicating a notable occurrence in this sample.
The average transverse diameter of the abdominal aorta was measured at 22.93±2.69 mm, showcasing morphometric variations.
Cadaveric examinations identified aortic dilatation and atherosclerosis as common pathologies associated with aneurysms.
No significant correlation was found between advancing age and the incidence of aneurysms in the male population in this sample.

Abstract

Aims: The abdominal aorta (AA) plays a crucial role in both invasive and non-invasive radiological procedures, particularly in hepatorenal and colorectal surgeries. In this study, the abdominal aorta was examined morphologically, and the presence of aneurysms and accompanying pathologies was discussed. Anatomical structures that can guide surgeons and radiologists were defined as landmarks, and a morphometric approach was made. Methods: This study examined the AA of 20 formalin-embalmed American cadavers (ages 50-96) donated to Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s C studies with larger cohorts are needed to better understand their prevalence and associated anatomical changes.
