Complex Variations in Branches of the Axillary Artery

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: The axillary artery is a continuation of the subclavian artery and transitions into the brachial artery. Variations in the axillary artery are not uncommon. During the upper-limb dissection of a 95-year-old Korean female cadaver, assorted anatomical variations of the axillary artery branches wer...

Common arterial trunk for the branches of the third portion of the axillary artery: description of a case and its clinical application

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: Variations of the axillary artery may have clinical implications capable of generating unexpected situations during surgical procedures of arterial reconstruction or vascular catheterization. The objective of this work was to report the finding of an anatomical variant of the axillary artery, wh...

The role of the axillary artery as a second access choice in TAVI procedures

Abstract With transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) technology expanding its indications for low-risk patients, the number of TAVI-eligible patients will globally grow, requiring a better understanding about the second-best access choice. Regarding the potential access sites, the transfemoral re...

Upper limb arterial pattern: clinical correlation and embryological perspective

Abstract Background Variations in the upper limb arterial pattern are commonplace and necessitate complete familiarity for successful surgical and interventional procedures. Variance in the vascular tree may involve any part of the axis artery of the upper limb, including the axillary artery and brachia...

Tratamento endovascular com endoprótese aórtica para aneurisma de artéria subclávia secundário à fístula arteriovenosa axilo-axilar traumática tardia

Resumo As fístulas arteriovenosas (FAVs) traumáticas envolvendo os vasos axilares e subclávios são incomuns e correspondem de 5 a 10% de todos os traumas arteriais. A anatomia complexa dessa região torna desafiador o tratamento desse segmento. Neste desafio terapêutico, descrevemos o caso de um hom...

Comparison of femoral and axillary artery cannulation in acute type a aortic dissection surgery

Abstract Introduction: One of the most important points of the acute type A aortic dissection surgery is how to perform cannulation regarding cerebral protection concerns and the conditions of arterial structures as a pathophysiological consequence of the disease. Objective: In this study, femoral an...

A rare variation of suprascapular artery originated from the axillary artery

Int. j. morphol; 37 (3), 2019
SUMMARY: The suprascapular artery (SSA) has been identified to be of clinical relevance to clavicular fracture, suprascapular neuropathy and surgical intervention of shoulder. Thus its origin and course have been intensively studied. In this case, we found a unilateral variation of the suprascapular arte...

Lesión traumática del nervio axilar identificada luego de la reparación del manguito rotador
Traumatic injury of the axillary nerve identified after rotator cuff repair

Introducción: La prevalencia del dolor de hombro oscila entre el 6,7% y el 66,7%; los trastornos del manguito rotador y especialmente la ruptura pueden alcanzar una prevalencia del 22,1%. Debido a los importantes avances y estudios en la reparación de esta lesión, la cirugía artroscópica ha permitid...

Innominate vs. axillary artery cannulation in aortic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Objective: To investigate whether axillary artery cannulation has supremacy over innominate artery cannulation in thoracic aortic surgery. Methods: A comprehensive search was undertaken among the four major databases (PubMed, Excerpta Medica dataBASE [EMBASE], Scopus, and Ovid) to identify all...
