variations in the origin of axillary artery branches are common. but, distinctly abnormal course of its posterior circumflex humeral branch is rare. we are reporting a case of posterior circumflex humeral artery (pcha) originating from the axillary artery, passing through lower triangular space to reach the scapular region where it accompanied the axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral...

BACKGROUND: There is little information about blood supply of the carpal joint in one- humped camel, while there is extensive data about cow and equine species. In order to perform surgeries and diagnostic techniques in carpal region, information about the elements of the joint such as its arteries is necessary. OBJECTIVES: This study aims at describing the origins, arrangements, and branches o...

We present a child with mild problems during haemodialysis due to stenosis of the proximal radial artery of his radiocephalic fistula. However, his problems spontaneously subsided. Follow-up sonography revealed arterial occlusion proximal to the fistula with retrograde flow in the distal segment. Kt/V and shunt flow were normal. Physical examination confirmed proximal radial artery occlusion wi...

Radial artery catheterization for the purpose of continuous blood pressure monitoring and frequent blood gas sampling is regularly performed in the emergency department (ED) and in the intensive care unit (ICU). In the operating room, anesthesiologists generally have the benefit of a conscious and cooperative patient, and the modified Allen’s test can be performed before catheterization of the ...

Introduction Brachial artery is the continuation of axillary artery at the lower border of teres major muscle. It gives profunda brachii, nutrient artery to humerus, superior and inferior ulnar collateral arteries and muscular branches in the arm. It ends by dividing into radial and ulnar arteries at the neck of radius. Radial and ulnar arteries descend in the forearm pursuing a typical course ...

In a 45 year male cadaver unusual variation of right brachial artery branching was observed. Brachial artery also showed high division in to radial and ulnar artery in upper third of arm. The posterior circumflex humeral artery, profunda brachii artery and superior ulnar collateral artery all arose from one common trunk in proximal part of brachial artery before its termination. In this report ...

Radial artery puncture, an invasive procedure, is frequently used for critical patients. Although considered safe, severe complications such as finger necrosis can occur. Herein, we review the clinical course of finger necrosis after accidental radial artery puncture. A 63-year-old woman visited the emergency department (ED) with left second and third finger pain after undergoing intravenous (I...

A review of the literature concerning ischaemic complications following radial artery cannulation suggests that the Allen test has little predictive validity. Other methods of assessing the ulnar collateral circulation are discussed.

The major blood vessels of the ostrich wing were studied by dissection of the wings of 8 ostriches. The axillary artery entered the caudo-ventral aspect of the wing and divided into the brachial and deep brachial arteries. The deep brachial artery gave rise to the radial and ulnar collateral arteries which supplied the caudodorsal aspect of the brachium. The brachial artery divided in the cubit...
