A dissection of 21 fetuses and newborns, 5 infants (1 to 3 years), and 10 adults revealed the necessity of a reanalysis of the cardiac plexus. It is suggested the following description be considered. The cardiac branches of the sympathetic trunk and vagus nerve are named cervical, cervicothoracic, and thoracic, according to their vertebral level of origin from the trunk or nerve. No thoracic cardiac branches were observed to arise below the 5th thoracic level of the sympathetic trunk. The terms "superficial" and "deep" should be abandoned in the description of the cardiac plexus. Instead, the cardiac plexus is designated as lying on the wall of the pulmonary trunk at its bifurcation and consisting of subsidiary plexuses named the right and left pulmonary, right and left coronary, right and left atrial, and the plexus on the arch of the aorta. The pulmonary plexuses are also described as beginning on the walls of the right and left pulmonary arteries, where they are formed by cardiac branches. At the hilus of the lung the pulmonary plexuses receive anterior and posterior branches from the vagus nerves and sympathetic trunks.
