A Cadaveric Study on Division of Brachial Artery with Its Embyological Basis and Clinical Significance
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
The brachial artery begins as a continuation of third part of axillary artery at the distal border of teres major muscle and terminates by dividing into the radial and the ulnar arteries at a point about finger’s breadth below the bend of elbow at the level of neck of radius. The present study was done on 30 cadavers in department of anatomy to find out any variations in the branching pattern of the brachial artery. In our study variation was found in one cadaver only. An unusual short segment of the brachial artery was found in the upper part of the arm on right side. It was dividing into radial and ulnar arteries at the level of insertion of the coracobrachialis muscle. High division of the brachial artery has a profound applied importance especially in the field of vascular surgery and radiology. This variation should be bore in mind before any vascular surgery in the region of the forearm or while interpreting arteriograms of the upper limb. Thus the knowledge of branching pattern of brachial artery is useful for physicians, surgeons, radiologist and interventionist in various surgical procedures and also for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
