Anatomical study of the Triangle of Brocq and Mouchet with its clinical implications
Abstract
The triangle of Brocq and Mouchet is situated on
the left side of the sternocostal surface and is formed by the
crossing between the anterior interventricular artery,
the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery and the
great cardiac vein. In the present study, 43 cadaveric heart
specimens from the Department of Anatomy, Christian
Medical College were dissected and the topography of the
triangle based on the position of the vessels were classified
and tabulated. This study may provide useful information for
interventional cardiac procedures.
