Here we describe an uncommon case of a 48-year-old male patient with an invasive thymoma invading the superior vena cava, bilateral innominate veins, right internal jugular vein, right subclavian vein, right atrium, azygos vein, and part of the lung tissues. The tumor was resected entirely under cardiopulmonary bypass support, and the venous bypass...

This chapter presents the anatomy of the neurovascular system with emphasis on aspects that would be useful for understanding and treating cerebrovascular disease. The aortic arch and great vessels, common carotid arteries, external carotid artery, internal carotid artery, circle of Willis, vertebral artery, basilar artery, venous system, and spinal neurovascular anatomy are covered.
The knowledge of the sectional anatomy of the thoracic cavity is of great importance for the understanding of respective pathologies, congenital anomalies, surgery, and radiological images such as computerized tomography and magnetic resonance images. In this chapter, we will discuss the main aspects of the division of the mediastinum and the relationships of lungs, heart, esophagus, and great vessels and, when possible, associate them with main radiologic images and pathologies that affect this important region. The objective is to present the sectional anatomy of the thoracic cavity and its association with radiologic images and, most importantly, traumatic, tumoral, and infectious conditions and congenital anomalies of this region.
