Arteries of the Mediastinum Ventral

Mediastinal arteries are vessels that supply blood to organs and tissues in the mediastinum, that is, the space between the lungs and the heart. They are part of a large circulatory system that includes arteries, veins and capillaries.

The mediastinal arteries are divided into two types: superior and inferior. The superior arteries come from the aorta, which is located behind the breastbone, and go to the mediastinal organs such as the lungs, heart and esophagus. The inferior arteries begin from the inferior vena cava, which is located in the abdominal cavity, and go to the organs of the mediastinum.

One of the important arteries of the mediastinum is the ventral artery, which runs from the aorta through the mediastinum to the lungs. It supplies blood to the lungs and other organs of the mediastinum. The ventral artery is one of the largest arteries of the mediastinum and can be susceptible to various diseases such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis or embolism.

If you have any problems with your mediastinal arteries or suspect they may be damaged, consult your doctor. He will be able to conduct the necessary tests and determine whether you need surgery or not.
