The origin of the deep brachial artery in American white and in American negro males

Anatomical Variations of Brachial Artery - Its Morphology, Embryogenesis and Clinical Implications

“…Prevalence of the profunda brachii artery originating from the axillary artery was reported as 8.7% by Charles et al, [17], 16.6% by Anson [18], 2% by Patnaik [19] and 4% by Chauhan K et al, [20], where as in our study it was noted as 8.57%. Knowledge of this unusual anatomy is important during brachial artery catheterization and harvesting of lateral arm flaps.…”

Variation of Brachial Artery And Its Branching Pattern

“…In the present study, in 5% cases brachial artery bifurcated above the intercondylar line, and in 5% brachial artery bifurcated at the level of intercondylar line. Charles et al (1931) specify 7 types of origins of arteria profunda brachii and in the present study. we observed four different types of origins.…”

“…The origin of the profunda brachii from the common trunk with superior ulnar collateral artery showed5% and originating from the axillary artery was found to be 2.5% in the present study which coincides with Patnaiket al (2002). Profunda brachii originating from the posterior circumflex humeral was found to be 2.5% which almost coincides with Charles et al (1931).…”

Superficial brachial artery: a possible cause for idiopathic median nerve entrapment neuropathy

“…However, in the present study, the brachial artery did not terminate as a collateral branch but rather terminated as the deep brachial artery which accompanied the radial nerve into the radial groove. Previous studies have reported the prevalence of the deep brachial artery originating from the axillary artery as follows (in increasing order of prevalence): 2% [14]; 8% [7]; 8.57% [5]; 8.7% [6]; and 16.6% [3]. Type II SBA continued as the radial artery after branching into muscular branches to the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles.…”
