Abstract

Aim of the study: To study the branching pattern of Axillary artery and to detect the abnormalities in the branching pattern of Axillary artery. Materials and Method: The study was conducted in Anatomy Department at B. J. Medical College, Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad. Hundred axillae were dissected (50 cadavers bilaterally) and branches of Axillary artery were observed from their point of origin from Axillary artery and traced to their termination. Result: Results of present study showed that out of 100 upper limbs 75 had normal branching pattern and 25 had variations in branching pattern of Axillary artery. Conclusion: Awareness about details and topographic anatomy of variations of the Axillary artery may serve as a useful guide for both radiologist and vascular surgeons. It may help to prevent diagnostic errors and to avoid complications during any surgery of the axillary region. Study of Branching Pattern of Axillary Artery – A Cadaveric Study
