Contents of posterior
mediastinum• Viscus – esophagus
• Vessels
– Descending thoracic aorta
– Azygous and hemiazygous veins
– Thoracic duct (lymphatic)
• Nerves
– Sympathetic chain
– Splanchic nerves
Constrictions
• 3 anatomical and physiological
• Pharyngoesophageal junction
– Narrowest 15cm from incisor teeth
• Where crossed by aortic arch and left bronchus
– 25
• Where passes through opening in diaphragm
– 41cm from incisor teeth
Azygos system of veins
• Consists of:
– Azygos vein
– Hemiazygos vein (inferior hemiazygos)
– Accessory hemiazygos vein (superior
hemiazygos)
• Drains thoracic wall and upper lumbar
regions
• Pleura is a membrane that is single celled
• Normally it produces a small amount of fluid that fills gap between
parietal & visceral layers of pleura
WHAT IS PLEURA?
• Parietal & visceral layers of pleura separated from each other
by slit like space = pleural cavity
• Normally contains small amount of pleural fluid- covers surfaces
of pleura as a thin film- permits two layers to move on each
other with minimun friction
PLEURAL CAVITY
LAYERS OF PLEURA
PARIETAL PLEURA
• Lines thoracic wall
• Covers thoracic surface of diaphragm
• Lateral aspect of mediastinum
• Extends into root of neck
VISCERAL PLEURA
• Completely covers outer surfaces of lung
• Extends into depths of interlobar fissures
Two layers become continuous with each other by means of a
cuff of pleura that surrounds the structures entering &
leaving the lung at hilum
PARTS OF THE PARIETAL PLEURA
Divided into 4 parts
CERVICAL PLEURA
• Extends up into neck lining undersurface of
suprapleural membrane
• Reaches level 1-1.5inches above medial 1/3 of
clavicle
COSTAL PLEURA
• Lines inner surface of ribs, costal cartilages,
intercostal spaces, sides of vertebral bodies &
back of sternum
DIAPHRAGMATIC PLEURA
• Covers thoracic surface of diaphragm
MEDIASTINAL PLEURA
• Covers & forms lateral boundary of mediastinum
• At hilum of lung reflected – reflected as cuff around vessels
& bronchi- becomes continuous with visceral pleura
COSTODIAPHRAGMATIC RECESSES• Slit like spaces between costal & diaphragmatic pleura
separated by pleural fluid
• Quiet respiration : costal & diaphragmatic pleura are in
apposition to each other below lower border of lung
• Deep inspiration : margins of base of lung descend,
costal & diaphragmatic pleura separate
COSTOMEDIASTINAL RECESS
• Found along anterior margin of pleura
• Slit like space between costal & mediastinal pleura
• Separated by pleural fluid
RECESSES
NERVE SUPPLY OF PLEURA
PARIETAL PLEURA
Costal : intercostal nerves
Mediastinal : phrenic nerve
Diaphragmatic : domes – phrenic nerve; periphery
– lower 6 intercostal nerves
VISCERAL PLEURA
Pulmonary plexus
PERICARDIUM
Definition: Fibro-serous sac enclosing heart & great vessels
Lies within middle mediastinum, posterior to body of sternum & 2-6th costal
cartilage
FIBROUS PERICARDIUM
• Strong fibrous part of sac firmly
attached below central tendon of
diaphragm
• Fuses with outer surfaces of
great blood vessels passing
though it viz. aorta, pulmonary
trunk, SVC, IVC, pulmonary
veins
• Attached in front to sternum by
sternopericardial ligament
SEROUS PERICARDIUM
PARIETAL LAYER
• Lines fibrous pericardium
• Reflected around roots of great vessels to become
continuous with vicseral layer of serous pericardium
VISCERAL LAYER
• Closely applied to heart
• Often called epicardium
• Slit like space between parietal & visceral layers =
pericardial cavity filled with pericardial fluid (acts as
lubricant to facilitate movement of heart)
PERICARDIAL SINUSES
OBLIQUE SINUS
• Reflection of serous pericardium around large veins
TRANSVERSE SINUS
• Short passage lying between reflection of serous pericardium around
aorta & pulmonary trunk & reflection around the large veins
CORONARY ATERIES
• Heart is supplied by right and left coronary
arteries
• Both are branches of ascending aorta
arising from coronary sinuses, located at
the origin of the ascending aorta
• they run in the coronary sulcus
RIGHT CORONARY
ARTERY
• Arises from the anterior aortic sinus and
runs in the coronary sulcus
• Gives off a right marginal branch
• in the posterior interventricular groove and
continues as posterior interventricular
artery
• Its termination anastomoses with LAD
CORONARY ARTERIES
• The Right Coronary Artery
• In 60% cases it gives off an SA nodal
artery, which supplies SA node
• In summary right coronary artery supplies
the right atrium, right ventricle, posterior
1/3 of interventricular septum, SA and AV
nodes
LEFT CORONARY ARTERY
• It arises from the left posterior aortic sinus
and reach the coronary sulcus
• Divides into two terminal branches
• The larger anterior interventricular branch
(LAD) anastomoses with right coronary
artey
• The smaller circumflex branch run in
coronary sulcus
CORONARY ARTERIES
• Left Coronary Artery
• Left coronary artery supplies most of the
left ventricle, atrium and anterior 2/3rd of
interventricular septum
• It also supplies part of the right atrium and
may supply the SA node (10%)
CORONARY VEINS
• Venae cordis minimae
• Anterior cardiac veins
• Coronary sinus
– Great cardiac vein
– Middle cardiac vein
– Small cardiac vein
– Posterior vein of left ventricle / vein of left
atrium
VARIATIONS OF THE
CORONARY ARTERIES
• Right coronary artery is dominant in 90% of
cases
• Left coronary artery is dominant in 10% of
cases
• accessory coronary artery is present in 4%
of the cases
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
• Occlusion of a major branch of coronary artery
• The region of myocardium supplied by the occluded branch becomes infarctedand soon undergoes necrosis
• This necrosed area is called a myocardial infarct(MI)
• most common reason of the occlusion iscoronary atherosclerosis
ANGINA PECTORIS
• Clinical syndrome characterized by
substernal discomfort resulting from
myocardial ischemia
• Common causes are the stress and
strenuous exercise after a heavy meal
• It is relieved by 1 or 2 min of rest and
administration of sublingual nitroglycerin
Coronary interventions
• Echocardiography
• Angiography / angioplasty
• Thallium scan
• Coronary revascularization
CORONARY
ANGIOGRAPHY
• It is the method to visualize coronary
arteries by using radiopaque contrast
material
• Radiographs or cineradiographs are taken to
show the lumen of the artery and its
branches, as well as ant stenotic areas that
may be present
CORONARY BYPASS
GRAFT
• A coronary bypass graft shunts blood from the
aorta or a coronary artery to a branch of coronary
artery to increase the flow distal to the occlusion
• Usually a segment of internal thoracic artery or
great saphenous vein is used as a graft
• In Percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasy(PTA) the obstruction is opened by
using a catheter with a small inflatable balloon
PULMONARY VEINS
• They carry oxygenated blood from the
lungs to the left atrium
• A main vein drains each bronchopulmonary
segment
• The two pulmonary veins on each side,
superior and inferior ones, opens into the
posterior aspect of left atrium
BRONCHIAL ARTERIES &
BRONCHIAL VEINS
• They supply blood to the connective tissues
of the bronchial tree
• There are two left bronchial arteries arising
from thoracic aorta
• The single right bronchial artery
• The right bronchial vein drains into the
azygos vein and the left bronchial vein into
the accessory hemiazygos vein
PULMONARY
THROMBOEMBOLISM
• Thrombi are carried from distant site e.g., from leg
veins following fractures or DVT
• Thrombus is carried to lungs via right heart
• When this thrombus is lodged in somewhere
pulmonary arterial system, blood supply to that
area of the lung is compromised
• Depending upon the size of blood vessel and area
of lung involved, respiratory distress may lead to
daeth.
PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
• Pulmonary hypertension occurs when there
is elevated blood pressure in the blood
circulation of the lungs.
• CAUSES
• Congenital and valvular heart disease
• Chronic lung disease
• Pulmonary embolism
