Morphology and Anatomical Classification of Pericardial Cavities: Oblique and Transverse Sinuses
The pericardial sinuses are an important anatomical feature of the pericardial cavity, however, their clinical anatomy has not been thoroughly studied. In this study, we aim to provide the first classification of the oblique and transverse sinuses. We analyzed 121 computer tomography scans (46.3% fe...

description | The pericardial sinuses are an important anatomical feature of the pericardial cavity, however, their clinical anatomy has not been thoroughly studied. In this study, we aim to provide the first classification of the oblique and transverse sinuses. We analyzed 121 computer tomography scans (46.3% female, age of 66 ± 12 years) of the pericardial cavity. The oblique sinuses were classified into four types: 1 (shallow with narrow entrance), 2 (shallow with wide entrance), 3 (deep with narrow entrance), and 4 (deep with wide entrance). The transverse sinuses were classified into four types: Concave, Wine-type, Straight, and Convex. The most common oblique sinus type was Type 1. The median oblique sinus volume was 8.4 (5.3) mL, the median entrance length was 33.0 (13.2) mm, and the depth was 38.2 (11.8) mm. The most common transverse sinus type was Concave. The median transverse sinus volume was 14.8 (6.5) mL, and the median length was 52.8 (17.7) mm. Our study provides an anatomical classification of the pericardial sinuses. The individual variability of the sinuses’ morphology highlights the importance of understanding the clinical topography of the sinuses, particularly for minimally invasive thoracic ablation procedures. |
