THE FEATURES OF MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE MAIN THIGH AND CRUS ARTERIES IN NEWBORNS

Abstract

Objective: to identify the features of morphometric parameters of the main thigh and crus arteries in newborns and develop reliable noninvasive methods for determination of morphometric parameters of the main thigh and leg arteries. Material and methods: macromicropreparation, morphometry, statistical method. Results. The high origin of the deep femoral artery was frequently observed in male newborns (68 %). The origins of the deep femoral artery in 75 % cases were caused by posteral lateral circumference of the femoral artery. In 57,2 % of the cases A.circumflexa femoris medialis was originated from the deep femoral artery and in 42,8 % cases from the femoral artery. During dissection of the popliteal artery, two cases revealed its trifurcation. Conclusions. The regression models received over the research help to calculate the length of the femoral artery and level of the deep femoral artery origin, which makes it possible to simplify the procedure of finding the optimum surgery assess to main arteries in the limited application of angiography.
