Features of the topography of the abdominal aorta and its unpaired branches in sexual and age aspects

In the last few decades there has been a steady growth of vessels diseases, including diseases of the abdominal aorta and its unpaired branches. The aim of this study was to study the topography of the abdominal aorta and its unpaired branches in men and women belonging to different age groups. It was analyzed 266 computer tomograms of the abdominal aorta and its unpaired branches of adult men and women divided into three age groups (first and second periods of mature age and old age). It was found that for men is typical the more distal location of the studied anatomical objects relatively to the vertebral column in comparison with women. It was proved that in women of the first mature age period, as well as in men, most often the beginning of the abdominal aorta is observed at the middle of the Th12 body (35.8%), in the second period of mature age - at the middle of the Th12 body (33.3%); in the elderly - at the level of the lower edge of the body of this vertebra. The level of the aorta bifurcation in men in the first period of mature age are most often located at the level of the lower edge of the L4 body, in other age groups at mid-body L4...
