Distributions of the measurements from this study. The box plots indicate that FA–LSCA was significantly longer than FA–SSN, and FA–Xi was significantly longer than FA–CeT on both sides (paired one-tailed t-test, p < 0.01). FA: femoral artery, FA–LSCA: the artery length between common femoral artery and the origin of left subclavian artery, FA–SSN: the external distance from common femoral artery to supra-sternum notch, FA–Xi: The external distance from common femoral artery to the xiphoid process, FA–CeT: the artery length between common femoral artery and celiac trunk, LSCA: left subclavian artery, SSN: suprasternal notch, Xi: xiphoid process, CeT: celiac trunk
