The pericardiacophrenic arteries travel through the thoracic cavity. They course through the fibrous pericardium. [2] The pericardiacophrenic artery accompanies the phrenic nerve between the pleura and pericardium, to the diaphragm. [3] This is where both the artery and the phrenic nerve are distributed.
The pericardiacophrenic arteries and veins travel with their respective phrenic nerves. The phrenic nerve can be marked by a line connecting these two points: 1st point can be labelled 3.5 cm at the level of the thyroid cartilage from the midsagittal plane. 2nd point is at the medial end of the clavicle.
On chest X–ray, the heart looks posteriorly rotated. Another feature is the sharp delineation of pulmonary artery and transverse aorta due to lung deposition between these two structures. If there is partial absence of pericardium, there will be bulge of the left atrial appendage. On CT and MRI scans, similar findings as chest X–ray can be ...
Pericardiacophrenic veins are the venae comitantes of the pericardiacophrenic arteries. Pericardiacophrenic vessels accompany the phrenic nerve in the middle mediastinum of the thorax. The vein drains into the internal thoracic vein, or brachiocephalic vein. [1

The superior phrenic artery is a bilaterally paired artery of the thoracic cavity. The two arteries provide arterial supply to the superior surface of the diaphragm. Each artery typically arises from either (the inferior portion of [1]) the descending part of the thoracic aorta or the 10th intercostal artery. [2]
Arteries and veins above and below the diaphragm supply and drain blood. From above, the diaphragm receives blood from branches of the internal thoracic arteries , namely the pericardiacophrenic artery and musculophrenic artery ; from the superior phrenic arteries , which arise directly from the thoracic aorta ; and from the lower internal ...
