Diameter, Vessel Thickness and Angle of Bifurcation of the Radial Artery in Ethiopian Cadavers

Abstract: Introduction The basic knowledge about the morphology, variation, diameter, and wall thickness of the radial artery is very important for clinicians to make precise decisions in matters such as performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using catheterization. Materials and Methods This was a descriptive study involving the dissection of 78 upper limbs (39 right, 39 left) of the cadavers of 18 adult females and 21 adult males in the age range between 25 and 77 years old whose radial artery … Show more

“…The resultant vessels were tensile tested in a Universal Testing System (Instron 5944, Norwood, MA), indicating Young’s elastic modulus values of 0.52 MPa, 0.60 MPa, 0.64 MPa, 0.78 MPa and 0.80 MPa, with an inner diameter of 2.8 mm and a wall thickness of 0.5 mm. This was representative of the dimensions of the arteries found in the forearm 31 33 and in the similar range of vascular elastic properties 34 37 .…”

“…The results of the localization and compression depth measurement trials are shown in Figure 4. For the cases where the artery is beneath the tactile array (centred and 5mm offset), the results show that the proposed method is effective in estimating the horizontal distance between the sensor axis and the arterial centre with total errors being within the arterial limits indicated by the black lines [13], [14].…”
