Background: This study was conducted to assess the Anatomical variations of the brachiocephalic artery and their clinical relevance. Material and methods:An observational, cross-sectional, descriptive, as well as retrospective investigation was conducted. A 64-slice CTA was utilized to obtain the images. With a window range of WW:600ā€“650 and WL:170ā€“225, 0.625 mm width slices, 0.53:1 mm/rot pitch, and a field of view of 22 to 23 cm, the CTA settings were rotation 0.4 s helicoidal acquisition, 20 mm detector covering, and 120 kV. The sample size was 50. For statistical analysis, the SPSS Version 24.0 program for Windows 10 was used. Each measurement parameter's mean as well as standard deviation were found on their own. The significance of the differences in each measurement parameter between men and women for each morphometric parameter was assessed using the Mann Whitney U test; a result of pā‰¤ā€‰0.05 was considered significant. Results:The thyroid and cricoid cartilages were found to be 2.9 and 3.65 cm, on average, from the free edge of the BCT. The free edge was found to be less than 1 cm from the cricoid cartilage in 39 investigations, however in 3 patients the BCT was found to be greater than this level by a mean of 7.6 mm, with 1 of these cases reaching the thyroid cartilage. Conclusion:In this population, high position BCT is highly prevalent. Because of the possible risk of complications, patients should be evaluated prior to any local operations.
