Offers cadaveric reference for normal septal perfusion; leaves open in vivo validation and disease-state relevance.

To describe the normal coronary arterial supply and vascular architecture of the human interventricular septum.
Examined postmortem specimens from 43 normal human hearts from individuals dying of noncardiac causes (N=43).
Prepared vascular specimens using vinylite injection into the coronary arteries to delineate vessel branching.
Characterized the typical distribution, branching patterns, and vascular pathways supplying blood to the interventricular septum.
Identified anatomical landmarks and vessel variations relevant to the diagnosis and management of septal ischemia and surgical interventions.

Outcome

Normal vascular anatomy of the interventricular septum

This anatomical study describes the normal vascular anatomy of the human interventricular septum using vinylite injection in 43 cadaveric hearts.
