Cephalic vein in the deltopectoral

Introduction: Identification and recognition of the of critical importance when considering emergency procedures. Therefore, the present cadaveric study was undertaken to identify the CV in the deltopectoral groove and its termination in the axillary vein with respect to the relevant anatomical landmarks. Material and methods: The length of the CV was taken from the lowest limit of the deltopect groove to its draining point into the axillary vein. The coracoid process (CP), first costo junction (CCJ) and the midclavicular point (MCP) were used as the landmarks and their distances from the drainage point of CV into the axillary vein were measured. Results: In all cadavers, the CV traversed the deltopectoral groove and terminated into the axillary vein. The mean length of the CV was 15.46 sternoclavicular joint, midclavicular point, first costo were 8.26 ± 0.99 cm, 3.51 ± 0.8 cm, 5.66 Conclusion: The present anatomical study describes the location of cephalic vein in relation to the anatomical landmarks which would be commonly used in the intervention procedures in this region.
