Introduction The axillary artery and its gross anatomy are well known to anatomists. The artery begins as a continuation of subclavian artery at the outer border of first rib and ends by becoming the brachial artery at the inferior border of teres major. The course of the artery varies with the position of the arm in relation to the body. When the arm is held at right angles to the body, the ar...

With the proliferation of minimally invasive cardiac surgery a number of alternative inflow sites for coronary artery bypass grafting have been utilized, especially in higher risk patients. The use of axillary-coronary artery bypass is a safe and effective alternative especially in the case of patients requiring redo coronary revascularization. However, the length and convoluted course of the a...

while blunt trauma of the head and neck are a common pattern of injury, significant problems related to the prompt diagnosis and optimal management of traumatic artery injuries have been reported in the literature. while patients with major artery injuries might develop hemorrhagic shock very rapidly, patients with blunt cerebrovascular injuries (bcvi) can present asymptomatic, but complication...

PURPOSE A left axillary artery perfusion instead of a femoral perfusion has the benefit of avoiding false lumen perfusion and atheroembolization into the brain, which is caused by retrograde perfusion in type A aortic dissection surgery. We performed type A aortic dissection surgery using the left axillary artery perfusion technique and reviewed this method. PATIENTS AND METHODS From April 20...

With recent advancement in percutaneous endovascular interventions, angioplasty and stenting of axillary artery lesions could become the treatment of choice vs. surgical intervention owing to its lower complication and mortality rates and shorter hospital stay.We report a Caucasian female case with axillary artery chronic total occlusion (CTO) with dual etiology (atherosclerotic and radiation i...

An isolated neurovascular variation is common but multiple vascular anomalies on same upper limb is a very rare case. We observed an unusual variations in right upper limb during routine dissection of a Nepali cadaver. The variations were observed in Axilla, Forearm and Palm. In axilla, fi rst part of axillary artery did not give any branch, the second part of axillary artery gave off only two ...
