“…Numerous variations have been noted in the radial artery of which high origin is the most common having an incidence of 4.17-15.60%. [5] Origin of radial artery from the third part of axillary artery proximal to the origin of subscapular artery has been reported by Yagain V.K et.al and Das et al [6,7] but the common trunk of origin of radial artery and the subscapular artery has not been reported so far. These variations have to be kept in mind by the surgeons and the radiologists during interventional procedures.…”

Knowledge about the vascular structure of upper extremity, both normal and abnormal, is important for diagnostic interventions and surgical procedures. During routine dissection of undergraduate teaching in the Department of Anatomy of JNMC, AMU, Aligarh, a unilateral variation in the origin of radial artery was noted on the right side. Third part of axillary artery gives rise to three branches, anterior circumflex humeral, posterior circumflex humeral and an anomalous common trunk for radial and subscapular artery. The aforementioned anomaly is first of its kind. High origin and superficial course of radial artery may be hazardous and vulnerable to injury during venepuncture and surgical approaches.

“…Persistent embryological arterial patterns and even the absence of this artery have also been described in the literature [13]. One of the most frequent variations described in the arm is the high origin of the RA, this was found in 14.2 % in McCormack's study [1] originating even directly from the AXA [14][15][16].…”

During anatomical dissection of fifty donors in the 2020 undergraduate first-year anatomy course at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, a high origin of the radial and ulnar arteries, also known as a brachioradial artery and a brachioulnar artery, was observed on the left arm of a 90 year-old White female donor. The bifurcation of the brachial artery occurred in the proximal third of the arm. Both the left brachioradial and left brachioulnar arteries ran superficial and medial to the biceps brachii muscle. The brachioulnar artery continues as the UA in the forearm, ran superficial and lateral to the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle, traversed the flexor retinaculum, and continued to form the superficial arterial palmar arch. The brachioradial artery ran deep to the pronator teres muscle and continued as the RA in the forearm. It presented with an atypical branching pattern and was tortuous until it reached the hand. On the dorsum of the hand, the radial artery runs superficial to the first dorsal interosseous muscle, parallel to the first metacarpal bone. It also reached the palmar side of the hand in an unusual manner. Medical professionals, especially radiologists, orthopedic and vascular surgeons, need to be aware of these variations to avoid iatrogenic injuries during normal procedures, such as venipuncture and intravenous injections. Knowledge of these variations is also important during invasive procedures, such as elbow reconstructive surgery, percutaneous brachial catheterization, and when creating an arteriovenous fistula using the radial artery. When such variations are suspected, Doppler and angiogram studies are necessary.
