“…In cases in which the SBA gave no branches (Cavdar et al 2000), the DBA supplied the whole area (VijayaBhaskar et al 2006). In our case, similarly to Maraspin (1971), Rao et al (2012) and Yotova & Novakov (2004), a high division of the 2 nd part of the AA into SBA and DBA occurred. Other authors (Cavdar et al 2000; Desai et al 2011; Kachlik et al 2011; Patnaik et al 2001; VijayaBhaskar et al 2006) found the AA bifurcation at the 3 rd part, while a rare bifurcation at the 1 st part, absence of the SSA and origin of the ATA from the DBA, was also referred (Jurjus et al 1999).…”

An unusual high bifurcation and variable branching of the axillary artery in a Greek male cadaver

IntroductionThe axillary artery presents abnormalities in its origin and course and a variable branching.Case descriptionA rare case of axillary artery bifurcation and branching was observed in a 60-years-old European male cadaver of Greek origin. The right axillary artery at the second part was bifurcated into a superficial and a deep brachial artery. The superficial brachial artery anteromedial to the median nerve and lateral to the ulnar nerve gave off the acromio-thoracic artery and two lateral thoracic arteries. The deep brachial artery behind the median nerve, after giving rise to the anterior circumflex humeral artery trifurcated into a branch that coursed distally, the posterior circumflex humeral artery and the subscapular artery. The latter subdivided into the circumflex scapular artery, a muscular branch for the subscapularis and the thoracodorsal artery. The continuation of the deep brachial artery divided laterally into a humeral nutrient artery and medially into a trunk which trifurcated into the profunda brachii artery, a deep muscular branch and a branch to the posterior compartment of the arm. The profunda brachii artery ended as radial and middle collateral arteries.Discussion and evaluationDeviations from the normal arterial pattern are of immense significance for anatomists, plastic, cardiovascular and orthopedic surgeons, vascular radiologists and interventional cardiologists.

“…The AA high bifurcation into SBA and DBA (Cavdar et al 2000; Yotova and Novakov 2004) coursing parallel is more frequent in African-Americans (13.4%) than in Caucasians (4.6%) (De Garis and Swartley 1928). Trotter et al (1930) found no racial differences.…”

“…Another comparable report noted the division of AA into regular and variant branches at the upper border of PMI (12). Nevertheless, we feel the arterial variations should be mentioned for the benefi t of radiologists and operating surgeons to prevent any untoward complication resulting from lack of clinical anatomical knowledge.…”

“…Studies in the past have reported high origin of radial and brachial artery along with bifurcation of AA into superfi cial brachial and a deep brachio-thoracic arteries as the common arterial variations of the upper extremity (7,8). In one study the deep brachial artery which was the lateral stem gave off the circumfl ex and subscapular arteries.…”

Abstract:Objectives: Descriptions of the variant arterial pattern of upper limb are not exceptional and are therefore frequently reported in anatomy archives. Background: A noteworthy deviation from the usual branching pattern was observed unilaterally in a single cadaver. This unique division of axillary artery (AA) was present on the right side in an adult human cadaver of Indian origin. Results:The fi rst part of axillary artery gave off the superior thoracic and thoraco-acromial arteries. Just proximal to the upper border of pectoralis minor the AA was observed to divide into two trunks a medial and a lateral. The lateral trunk continued into the brachium as the usual axillary artery where as the medial trunk displayed the other branches deep and distal to the pectoralis minor muscle. The remarkable feature was the wide caliber of the axillary artery where it bifurcated into two branches. An attempt has been made to dwell upon the embryological basis of the present anomaly. Conclusions: The relevance of anomalous arterial pattern of upper limb (U.L.) is realized while performing percutaneous arterial venous catheter insertion into subclavian vein via the infraclavicular route. We advocate a meticulous familiarization of the anatomy of axillary artery and its topographical relationship to other neurovascular structures for the operating plastic surgeon, anesthetist and radiologist (Fig. 1, Ref. 12).
