Brachial artery Bilateral trifurcation Radial recurrent artery The variations in the arterial pattern specially in the extremities are common. The trifurcation of brachial artery into radial, ulnar and either common interosseous or median artery are found commonly, but radial recurrent artery as a third branch is very rarely reported. Here we are reporting a rare case of bilateral trifurcation ...

Dissecting aneurysm is the condition produced by separation of the layers of the arterial wall by circulating blood. Although rare, the coexistence of aortic dissection and aberrant right subclavian artery may be catastrophic. In this study we report the endovascular treatment of a patient with thoracic aorta dissection associated with aberrant right subclavian artery. Aortic clamping proximal ...

This report describes a patient with right-sided aortic arch, aberrant left subclavian artery and Kommerell diverticulum, who presented aneurysmal degeneration of the root to descending aorta, in addition an acute Type B 2-10 dissection. He underwent hybrid treatment valve-sparing replacement, transverse arch replacement reattachment right artery, bilateral common carotid arteries, thoracic end...

Kommerell diverticulums are an uncommon congenital vascular disease involving aberrant origin of the right or left subclavian artery and a dilation its root. Here, we present case 44-year-old woman with relapse surgically repaired diverticulum.

BACKGROUND The radial artery is used for the access of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention, as well as for coronary artery bypass surgery. Variations of upper limb arteries are common, however, congenital absence of radial artery is scarce, and most cases were unilateral radial artery absence. CASE PRESENTATION During a coronary angiography of a 43-year-old man, we enc...

A low origin of the radial artery is a rare anatomical variation, with the incidence estimated at 0.2 %. This report presents a previously unrecorded case of an unusual distal origin of the radial artery, co-occurring with a double recurrent radial artery. The radial artery arose under the pronator teres muscle, 76 mm below the intercondylar line of the humerus. After emerging from under the te...

The advocated SphygmoCor procedure uses a radial-to-aorta transfer function with calibration on brachial instead of radial artery pressure to assess the central pulse pressure. We compared these values with carotid artery pulse pressures obtained from a validated calibration method, assuming mean minus diastolic blood pressure constant throughout the large artery tree. From 44 healthy subjects ...

INTRODUCTION Coronary artery bypass grafting is an established means of treating advanced coronary artery disease. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the radial artery as an entry route during coronary angiography. Accurate knowledge of the branching pattern of this artery and its relation to surrounding structures is of great importance in the care of surgical patients. ...
