“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]24 Although pigs have been used extensively in many areas, such as genomics, organ transplantation, oncology, trauma, and neurological and cardiovascular diseases, 2-4,10,18 many important physiological and anatomic factors remain unknown or have only been described superficially. 1,5,25 The literature contains several conflicting anatomic descriptions, such as the "bifurcation" of the aorta, 3,6,26 which is actually a "trifurcation" in pigs. Additionally, the subclavian arteries, 3,6,11,15,27 which emerge from the brachiocephalic artery on the right side and from the aortic arch on the left side, supplying the animal's front limbs, are occasionally referred to as brachial arteries.…”
