Variations in Axillary Artery and its Branching Pattern
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Variation in the branching pattern of axillary artery is commonly seen. Knowledge of these variations is of anatomical, surgical and radiological importance. In present study 50 upper limb of 25 cadavers were dissected to see branching of axillary artery andits course. We found variations as posterior circumflex humeral artery coming from subscapular instead of third part of axillary artery; unilateral superficial brachial artery; bend and tortuous axillary artery. Thus variation pattern of axillary artery is important as it is used in different vascular surgeries. Also it helps to determine the brachial plexus relation as cords of brachial plexus are labelled after their relation to second part of axillary artery.
