Anatomical study of the Triangle of Brocq and Mouchet with its clinical implications

Jenny Jacob and Bina Isaac .

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.
