pericardiacophrenic

The medial branch curves forward, and anastomoses with its fellow of the opposite side, and with the musculophrenic and pericardiacophrenic arteries.

In the former, Sydney Jones thus sums up the detailed description of the anastomosing vessels: The principal communications by which the circulation was carried on were: (1) The internal mammary, anastomosing with the intercostal arteries, with the inferior phrenic of the abdominal aorta by means of the musculophrenic and pericardiacophrenic, and largely with the inferior epigastric.

VI. The Arteries. 5. The Arteries of the Trunk. a. The Descending Aorta 1918

The superior phrenic branches are small and arise from the lower part of the thoracic aorta; they are distributed to the posterior part of the upper surface of the diaphragm, and anastomose with the musculophrenic and pericardiacophrenic arteries.

VI. The Arteries. 5. The Arteries of the Trunk. a. The Descending Aorta 1918

The anterior mediastinal, pericardial, and sternal branches, together with some twigs from the pericardiacophrenic, anastomose with branches from the intercostal and bronchial arteries, and form a subpleural mediastinal plexus.

VI. The Arteries. 4. The Arteries of the Upper Extremity. a. The Subclavian Artery 1918

The superior phrenic vein, i.e., the vein accompanying the pericardiacophrenic artery, usually opens into the internal mammary vein.

VII. The Veins. 3c. The Veins of the Upper Extremity and Thorax 1918

That of the left lung passes beneath the aortic arch and in front of the descending aorta; the phrenic nerve, the pericardiacophrenic artery and vein, and the anterior pulmonary plexus, lie in front of each, and the vagus and posterior pulmonary plexus behind each; below each is the pulmonary ligament.

XI. Splanchnology. 1e. The Lungs 1918

In the thorax it is accompanied by the pericardiacophrenic branch of the internal mammary artery.
