“…The morphometric characteristics of the BCA might be rather useful in a number of surgical procedures such as stenting and catheterization in cases of aneurysms [ 8 ]. To our knowledge, there are numerous studies dealing with the BCA’s diameter [ 7 , 9 - 14 ] but only a few comparative data exist concerning its length [ 15 - 16 ].…”

“…Honig et al (1952) mention in their study that the expected length of the BCA ranges from 3.7 to 5.0 cm and a concomitant lengthening occurs when arteriosclerosis coexists [ 15 ]. The authors cite that the aforementioned length was observed in postmortem studies with no further details.…”

“…Shin et al (2008) [ 16 ] performed a study on 25 Korean adult cadavers (17 males and eight females, mean age of 63 years) and among other data, they measured the distance from the origin of the BCA to the origin of the right CCA, which corresponds to the length of BCA. The mean distance was 3.25 mm with a range between 2.42 and 4.6 cm [ 15 ]. A greater mean length was observed in the present study (mean length 3.82±0.947 cm, SE=0.110) as well as a greater range, with the minimum length being 1.7 cm and the maximum being 6 cm.…”

Introduction The brachiocephalic artery (BCA) is the largest branch that arises from the aortic arch, which varies in length. The present study focuses on BCA length and its probable correlation with height and torso length. Methods The BCA length (from the artery’s origin to the arcus aortae), the length of the torso, and height were measured in 76 embalmed adult human cadavers of Caucasian (Hellenic) origin. Results A total of 74 arteries were measured (36 females and 38 males). The mean length was found to be 3.82 cm (SD=±0.947, SE=0.110). In male cadavers, the mean BCA length was 3.94 cm (SD=±0.980, SE=0.159) and in females, it was found to be 3.69 cm (SD=±0.905, SE=0.151). No statistically significant difference was found (p=0.248, p>0.05) The mean torso length was 62.27 cm (SD=±4.325, SE=0.496) and the mean height was 155.3 cm (SD=±10.124, SE=1.161). The BCA length was correlated with body height and torso length in both sexes. A statistically significant correlation was found only between BCA length and body height in male cadavers (r=0.267, p=0.021). Conclusion The morphometric characteristics of the BCA are of great importance in a number of surgical procedures, such as stenting and catheterization in cases of aneurysms. One statistically significant correlation was observed in our study, which could be considered an important finding, as it could lead to the plausible assumption that greater height leads to the formation of larger arteries.
