Anatomical Variation in Branching Pattern of Axillary Artery
Abstract
We discovered a variation in the branching pattern of the right axillary artery during routine dissection of an approximately 60-year-old male cadaver for postgraduate and undergraduate medical students at the postgraduate institute of ayurveda dr sarvepalli radhakrishnan rajasthan ayurved university Jodhpur. The second part of the axillary artery gave rise to thoracoacromial artery and a shared trunk that split into the subscapular and lateral thoracic arteries. The anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries were formed by the third part of the right axillary artery. Variations in the branching pattern of the axillary artery are essential for cardiovascular surgeons doing interventional or diagnostic operations.
