Nature of Species Differences in the Medial Distribution of Aortic Vasa Vasorum in Mammals

Abstract: Thoracic aortic segments of 12 mammalian species were fixed while distended at normal physiological pressures after the vasa vasorum were filled by a perfusion mixture containing gelatin and carbon. Mammals whose aortas had 29 or fewer medial lamellar units had no demonstrable intramural vascular channels; those whose aortas had more than 29 medial lamellar units, had medial vasa. Aortas with medial vasa vasorum always had a subintimal medial zone devoid of vasa vasorum. In growing animals the width of this av… Show more

“…In humans, arteries containing less than 29 cellular layers or less than 0.5 mm diameter do not present VV. 1,2 Thanks to microcomputerized tomography, tridimensional study of these vessels became possible, 3,4 as well as microarteriography have enabled a more thorough understanding of their anatomy and distribution 5 through the injection of a silicone polymer (Microfil ® , Flow Tech, U.S.). VV seem to play a fundamental role in the physiopathology of the three acute aortic syndrome entities: aortic dissection, intramural hematoma (IMH), and penetrating ulcer.…”
