Abstract Background Variations in the upper limb arterial pattern are commonplace and necessitate complete familiarity for successful surgical and interventional procedures. Variance in the vascular tree may involve any part of the axis artery of the upper limb, including the axillary artery and brachial artery or its branches, in the form of radial and ulnar arteries, which eventually supply the hand via anastomosing arches. Objectives To study the peculiarities of the arterial pattern of the upper limb and to correlate them with embryological development. Methods The entire arterial branching of forty-two upper limbs of formalin fixed adult human cadavers was examined during routine dissection for educational purposes, conducted over a 3-year period in the Department of Anatomy, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi. Results The study found: 1) One case in which a common trunk arose from the third part of the axillary artery, which immediately splayed into four branches (2.4%); 2) High division of the brachial artery into ulnar and radial arteries, in 3 cases (7.1%); 3) Pentafurcation of the brachial artery into ulnar, interosseus, radial, and radial recurrent arteries and a muscular twig to the brachioradialis in 1/42 cases (2.4%); 4) Incomplete Superficial Palmar arch in 3/42 cases (7.1%); and 5) Presence of a median artery in 2/42 case(4.8%) Conclusions This study observed and described the varied arterial patterns of the upper limb and identified the various anomalous patterns, supplementing the surgeon’s armamentarium in various surgical procedures, thereby helping to prevent complications or failures of reconstructive surgeries, bypass angiography, and many similar procedures.

As lesões da artéria axilar e subclávia por trauma penetrante, excluindo aquelas ocorridas em teatro de guerra, são relativamente raras e com poucos casos descritos na literatura. Contudo, se não diagnosticadas atempadamente, estas poderão estar associadas a uma elevada morbilidade e mortalidade. A dificuldade e complicações frequentemente associadas à abordagem por cirurgia direta tornaram o tratamento endovascular uma alternativa mais atrativa, particularmente em caso de formação de pseudoaneurisma ou fístula arterio-venosa. Os autores descrevem um caso clínico de um jovem de 24 anos, admitido por lesão da artéria axilar em contexto de trauma penetrante e submetido a correção endovascular.

Abstract The suprascapular artery is normally a branch of the thyrocervical trunk of the subclavian artery. During dissection of the left upper limb of a female cadaver, aged 70 years and fixed in 10% formalin solution, the suprascapular artery was observed aberrantly arising from the first part of the axillary artery. Later, it coursed obliquely behind the clavicle bone and brachial plexus to reach the suprascapular notch, where it was accompanied by the suprascapular nerve. Then, both suprascapular nerve and artery anomalously traversed beneath the transverse scapular ligament. It then irrigated the supraspinatus muscles and took part in the anastomosis around the scapula. On the contralateral side there was no abnormality. Variations in the origin and course of suprascapular artery are of immense value to orthopedic and vascular surgeons, angiographists, and anatomists.

BACKGROUND: Variations in the branching pattern of the axillary artery are a rule rather than an exception. The knowledge of these variations is of anatomical, radiological, and surgical interest to explain unexpected clinical signs and symptoms. OBJECTIVE: The large percentage of variations in branching pattern of axillary artery is making it worthwhile to take any anomaly into consideration. The type and frequency of these vascular variations should be well understood and documented, as increasing performance of coronary artery bypass surgery and other cardiovascular surgical procedures. The objective of this study is to observe variations in axillary artery branches in human cadavers. METHODS: We dissected 80 limbs of 40 human adult embalmed cadavers of Asian origin and we have studied the branching patterns of the axillary artery. RESULTS: We found variations in branching pattern of axillary artery in 62.5% of the limbs. Anatomical variations included: origin of lateral thoracic artery from the subscapular artery; absent thoracoacromial trunk and all its branches arose directly from the second part of the axillary artery; division of thoracoacromial trunk into deltoacromial and clavipectoral trunks, which were divided into all branches of thoracoacromial trunk; origin of subscapular, anterior circumflex humeral, posterior circumflex humeral and profunda brachii arteries from a common trunk from the third part of the axillary artery; and origin of posterior circumflex humeral artery from brachial artery in addition to third part of the axillary artery. CONCLUSIONS: The study was carried out to show important variations in the branching pattern of axillary artery, in order to orient the surgeons performing angiography, coronary bypass, and flaps in reconstructive surgeries.CONTEXTO: As variações no teste padrão de ramificação da artéria axilar são preferencialmente uma regra do que uma exceção. O conhecimento destas variações é de interesse anatômico, radiológico e cirúrgico para explicar os sinais e sintomas clínicos inesperados. OBJETIVO: O grande percentual de variações no padrão de ramificação da artéria axilar deve ser levado em consideração. O uso crescente de procedimentos invasores e intervencionistas em procedimentos cirúrgicos cardiovasculares e em cirurgias reconstrutivas da região axilar faz com que seja mais importante que o tipo e a frequência destas variações vasculares sejam entendidos e documentados. MÉTODOS: Oitenta membros de 40 cadáveres adultos embalsamados de origem asiática foram dissecados, e os testes padrões de ramificação da artéria axilar foram estudados. RESULTADOS: Foram encontradas variações no padrão de ramificação da artéria axilar em 62,5% dos membros. Variações anatômicas incluíram: origem da artéria torácica lateral da artéria subescapular; tronco toracoacromial ausente e todos os ramos surgiram diretamente a partir da segunda parte da artéria axilar; divisão do tronco toracoacromial em troncos deltoacromial e clavipeitoral, que foram divididos em todos os ramos do tronco toracoacromial; origem do subescapular umeral circunflexo anterior, umeral circunflexo posterior e artérias braquiais profundas a partir de um tronco comum da terceira parte da artéria axilar; e origem da artéria umeral circunflexa posterior da artéria braquial, além de terceira parte da artéria axilar. CONCLUSÕES: O estudo foi realizado para mostrar as importantes variações no teste padrão de ramificação da artéria axilar para orientar os cirurgiões que realizam angiografias, pontes de safena e retalhos em cirurgias reconstrutivas.

Objective: To report the uncommon association between neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and unroofed coronary sinus. Case description: Girl with four years and six months old who was hospitalized for heart surgery. The cardiac problem was discovered at four months of life. On physical examination, the patient presented several café-au-lait spots in the trunk and the limbs and freckling of the axillary and groin regions. Her father had similar skin findings, suggesting the NF1 diagnosis. The cardiac evaluation by echocardiography disclosed an atrial septal defect of unroofed coronary sinus type. This cardiac finding was confirmed at surgery. The procedure consisted of the atrial septal defect repair with autologous pericardium. Comments: NF1 is a common autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the NF1 gene. Among the NF1 findings, congenital heart defects are considered unusual. In the literature review, there was no association between NF1 and unroofed coronary sinus, which is a rare cardiac malformation, characterized by a communication between the coronary sinus and the left atrium, resultant from the partial or total absence of the coronary sinus roof. It represents less than 1% of atrial septal defect cases. More reports are important to determine if this association is real or merely casual, since NF1 is a common condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aneurysms of the subclavian-axillary segment are rare, but when diagnosed they must be treated. This article describes two cases of aneurysms of the upper extremities, one in a subclavian artery and the other in an axillary artery. The first case was a 71-year-old male with a pulsating supraclavicular bulge on the right and muscle weakness in the ipsilateral extremity. Duplex scanning and arteriography confirmed the diagnosis of aneurysm of the right subclavian artery and the patient underwent aneurysmectomy and end-to-end anastomosis. The second case was a 24-year-old female patient, with no history of comorbidities, who presented with a pulsating mass in the right axillary region and paresthesia of the ipsilateral extremity. Duplex scanning and arteriography confirmed an aneurysm in the right axillary artery, which was successfully treated with aneurysmectomy and end-to-end anastomosis. Pathology findings showed that the first case was an atherosclerotic aneurysm and the second was a congenital aneurysm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Os autores descrevem um caso clínico de um jovem de 24 anos, admitido por lesão da artéria axilar em contexto de trauma penetrante e submetido a correção endovascular. Axillary and subclavian artery injuries due to penetrating trauma, excluding those occurring in war theatre, are relatively rare and few cases are described in the literature. However, if not diagnosed in a timely manner, these lesions may be associated with high morbidity and mortality. The difficulty and complications often associated with the open surgery approach have made endovascular treatment a more attractive alternative, particularly in cases of pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula formation. The authors describe a clinical case of a 24-year-old man admitted for an axillary artery injury in the context of penetrating trauma and that undergone successful endovascular correction.

Resumo: O preá é um roedor típico da caatinga pertencente à família Caviidae. Considerando a inexistência de dados sobre o arco aórtico do preá, foi realizado este estudo tendo como objetivo descrever os ramos colaterais do arco aórtico neste cavídeo, e dessa forma, contribuir com dados para biologia da espécie. Foram utilizados vinte preás machos provenientes de estudos anteriores e encontravam-se armazenados em freezer no Centro de Multiplicação de Animais Silvestres (CEMAS/UFERSA). Os animais foram descongelados, a cavidade torácica foi aberta, a aorta canulada e o sistema vascular lavado com solução salina e em seguida, injetado látex Neoprene corado com pigmento vermelho, amarelo ou branco. Posteriormente, os animais foram fixados em formol e depois de 72 horas, dissecados e analisados, sendo obtidos desenhos esquemáticos e os exemplares mais representativos fotografados. O arco aórtico do preá emitiu como ramos colaterais, o tronco braquiocefálico e a artéria subclávia esquerda. O tronco braquiocefálico originou na maioria das peças estudadas, a artéria carótida comum esquerda e o tronco braquiocarotídeo, do qual surgem as artérias subclávia direita e carótida comum direita. As artérias subclávias direita e esquerda em todos os animais estudados emitiram a artéria vertebral, a artéria torácica interna, a artéria cervical superficial, o tronco costocervical e a artéria axilar. O padrão da formação do arco aórtico do preá assemelhou-se ao observado em outros roedores, tais como no mocó, no porquinho-da-índia e na chinchila. Abstract: Galea spixii is a typical rodent of the caatinga belonging to the Caviidae family. Considering the lack of data on the aortic arch of the galea, this study aimed to describe the collateral branches of the aortic arch in this specie and to contributes to knowledge of its biology. Twenty males from previous studies were used which had been stored in a freezer at Multiplication Center of Wild Animals (CEMAS/UFERSA). The animals were thawed, the thoracic cavity was opened and the aorta cannulated vasculature was washed with saline and then injected with Neoprene latex colored with red pigment, yellow or white. Subsequently, the animals were fixed in formalin and after 72 hours dissected and analyzed, to obtain schematic drawings and the most representative samples were photographed. The cavy aortic arch issued as collateral branches, the brachiocephalic trunk and the left subclavian artery. The brachiocephalic trunk afforded in most of the specimens the left common carotid artery and the brachiocarotid trunk, where the right subclavian and right common carotid arteries arise. The right and left subclavian arteries in all animals studied issued the vertebral artery, internal thoracic artery, superficial cervical artery costocervical trunk and axillary artery. The pattern of formation of the aortic arch of galea was similar to that observed in other rodents, such as the kerodon, the guinea pig and chinchilla.

INTRODUÇÃO: O acesso através da punção da artéria axilar (AAx) tem sido utilizado em adultos com bons resultados, porém seu uso em neonatos e lactentes jovens tem sido pouco relatado. Nosso objetivo foi relatar a experiência inicial com o uso desse acesso em diferentes intervenções nessa faixa etária de pacientes. MÉTODO: De janeiro de 2009 a setembro de 2010 foram incluídas 11 crianças submetidas a diferentes procedimentos intervencionistas realizados através de punção da AAx. O procedimento foi realizado com agulha 21 G, sendo utilizados introdutores 4 F ou 5 F pediátricos. RESULTADOS: A média de idade foi de 26 ± 12 dias e o peso médio, de 4,2 ± 1,7 kg. Os procedimentos intervencionistas realizados foram: implante de stent no canal arterial (6), valvoplastia aórtica (1), angioplastia aórtica (2), implante de stent em Blalock-Taussig (1), e redilatação do stent do canal arterial (1). A punção da AAx direita foi realizada com sucesso em todos os pacientes e sem dificuldade técnica. Os tempos médios do procedimento e da fluoroscopia foram de, respectivamente, 52 ± 15 minutos e 13 ± 4 minutos. Apenas um paciente teve como complicação um pneumotórax sem repercussão hemodinâmica, e os demais pacientes não apresentaram intercorrências. Não houve complicações isquêmicas nem neurológicas no membro puncionado. O tempo médio de internação na Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo (UTI) foi de 48 ± 16 horas. Não houve mortalidade durante os procedimentos intervencionistas e um paciente faleceu na UTI cinco dias após por sepse. CONCLUSÃO: O acesso axilar obtido por punção demonstrou ser uma alternativa segura e eficaz para a realização de diferentes procedimentos intervencionistas em neonatos e lactentes com cardiopatias congênitas.

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A artéria axilar é referência anatômica de superfície para o bloqueio do plexo braquial por via axilar. Estudos anatômicos sugerem variabilidade das posições das estruturas nervosas do plexo braquial em relação à artéria. Essas variações podem dificultar bloqueios por neuroestimulação. A ultra-sonografia permite a identificação das estruturas do plexo braquial ¹. Este estudo visou a descrever o posicionamento dos nervos do plexo braquial em relação à artéria axilar. MÉTODO: Foram estudados 30 voluntários de ambos os sexos, em posição supina com abdução a 90º e rotação externa do ombro e flexão do cotovelo a 90º. Utilizando transdutor digital de 5 cm e 5-10 MHz, foram identificados os nervos mediano, ulnar e radial e as respectivas posições em relação à artéria foram marcadas em uma carta gráfica seccional de oito setores, numerados em ordem crescente a partir da hora 12 (medial), cujo centro representava a artéria axilar. RESULTADOS: O nervo mediano localizou-se predominante no setor 8 (55%) e no setor 1 (28%) (mediais); o nervo radial localizou-se predominantemente nos setores 4 (59%) e 5 (34%) (laterais) e o nervo ulnar nos setores 2 e 3 (inferiores) em 69% e 24% dos casos, respectivamente. Houve considerável variação da localização dos nervos em relação aos aspectos superior e inferior da artéria. CONCLUSÕES: A inspeção em tempo real, por ultra-som, das estruturas neurovasculares do plexo braquial na axila mostrou que os nervos mediano, ulnar e radial podem apresentar diferentes relações com a artéria axilar. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The axillary artery is the anatomical reference, in the surface, for axillary brachial plexus block. Anatomic studies suggest variability in the location of the structures in the brachial plexus in relation to the axillary artery. These variations can hinder blocks by neurostimulation. The ultrasound allows the identification of the structures within the brachial plexus¹. The objective of this report was to describe the position of the nerves in the brachial plexus in relation to the axillary artery. METHODS: Thirty volunteers of both genders were studied. They were in the supine position with 90° abduction and external rotation of the shoulder and 90º flexion of the elbow. Using a 5 cm and 5-10 MHz digital transducer, median, ulnar and radial nerves were identified and their position in relation to the artery were recorded in an 8-sector sectional graphic chart, numbered in crescent order starting at the 12-hour position (medial), whose center represented the axillary artery. RESULTS: The median nerve was located mainly in sectors 8 (55%) and 1 (28%) (medial); the radial nerve was predominantly in sectors 4 (59%) and 5 (34%) (lateral); and the ulnar nerve in sectors 2 and 3 (inferior) in 69% and 24% of the cases, respectively. There was a considerable variation in the location of the nerves in relation to the superior and inferior aspects of the artery. CONCLUSIONS: Real-time ultrasound inspection of the neurovascular structures of the brachial plexus in the axilla demonstrated that the median, ulnar and radial nerves have different relations with the axillary artery.

Ese estudio buscó describir el posicionamiento de los nervios del plexo braquial con relación a la arteria axilar. MÉTODO: Fueron estudiados 30 voluntarios de los dos sexos, en posición supina con abducción a 90° y rotación externa del hombro y flexión del codo a 90°. Utilizando transductor digital de 5 cm y 5-10 MHz, fueron identificados los nervios mediano, ulnar y radial, y las respectivas posiciones en relación a la arteria fueron marcadas en una carta gráfica seccional de 8 sectores, enumerados en orden creciente a partir de la hora 12 (medial), cuyo centro representaba la arteria axilar. RESULTADOS: El nervio mediano se ubicó predominante en el sector 8 (55%) y en el sector 1 (28%) (mediales); el nervio radial se ubicó predominantemente en los sectores 4 (59%) y 5 (34%) (laterales) y el nervio ulnar en los sectores 2 y 3 (inferiores) en un 69% y un 24% de los casos, respectivamente. Hubo una considerable variación de la localización de los nervios con relación a los aspectos superior e inferior de la arteria. CONCLUSIÓN: La inspección en tiempo real, por ultrasonido, de las estructuras neuro vasculares del plexo braquial en la axila mostró que los nervios mediano, ulnar y radial pueden presentar diferentes relaciones con la arteria axilar.

Assim, foram dissecadas as artérias oriundas desse arco previamente injetadas com solução corada de látex Neoprene 650â (Du Pont do Brasil S.A.) em 20 fetos dessa espécie, machos e fêmeas com idades entre 4 e 8 meses de gestação. em 80% dos casos, observou-se que o tronco braquiocefálico (Truncus brachiocephalicus) emite a artéria subclávia (Arteria subclavia) esquerda, artérias carótidas comuns (Arteria carotis communis) esquerda e direita, sem caracterizar tronco bicarotídeo (Truncus bicaroticus), e a artéria subclávia direita. As artérias subclávias direita e esquerda originam em comum o tronco costocervical (Truncus costocervicalis), a artéria cervical superficial (Arteria cervicalis superficialis), artérias axilares (Arteria axillaris) e artéria torácica interna (Arteria thoracica interna). em 20% dos casos, o tronco braquiocefálico origina a artéria subclávia esquerda em comum ao tronco costocervical esquerdo; em seguida, emite a artéria carótida comum esquerda e termina trifurcando-se em artéria carótida comum direita, artéria subclávia direita e tronco costocervical direito, sendo que as artérias subclávias direita e esquerda têm origem comum com as artérias cervical superficial, axilar e torácica interna, com a presença do tronco bicarotídeo, característico dos bovinos. The branches of the aortic arch (Arcus aortae) of buffaoes were investigated in this study. Therefore, dissections were procedeed in previously injected arteries (using coloured Neoprene latex 650â - Du Pont do Brasil S.A.) of 20 buffalo foetuses, theses males and females between four and eight months of gestation . In 80% of the cases it was observed that the brachiocephalic trunk (Truncus brachiocephalicus) gives off the left subclavian artery, (Arteria subclavia) the right and left common carotid arteries (Arteria carotis communis) - being absent the bicarotid trunk (Truncus bicaroticus)- and the right subclavian artery. The right and left subclavian arteries originate in commom the costocervical trunk (Truncus costocervicalis), the cervical superficial artery (Arteria cervicalis superficialis), axillary artery (Arteria axillaris) and internal thoracic artery (Arteria thoracica interna). In 20% of the cases the brachiocephalic trunk originates the left subclavian artery in common with the left costocervical trunk, and after it does originate the left common carotid artery. It ends spliting up in three vessels: the right commom carotid artery, the right subclavian artery and the right costocervical trunk, remembering that the right and left subclavian arteries have their origin commonly to the superficial cervical artery, the axillary artery and the internal thoracic artery, with the presence of the bicarotid trunk, which is characteristic of bovines.

- Abstract
Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is an inflammatory chronic disease which damages large and medium caliber arteries, particularly aorta and its branches, and is more frequent in young women, usually starting in those who are less than 40 years old. The uncommon case reported herein concerns a 39-year-old female patient with damage of the right axillary artery only and stroke, emphasizing the need of arterial investigation in regions not usually affected by the disease.

- Abstract
Objectives: To determine indications and results of axillary artery cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass., Methods: From January 2005 through December 2008, axillary artery cannulation was used in 48 patients. Mean age was 62 +/- 11 years and 33 (69%) patients were males. Axillary artery was approached by infraclavicular incision and the cannula introduced in a 8 millimeter Dacron side graft., Results: Indications were calcified aorta (N=18, 38%), aortic dissection (N=15, 31%), ascending and/or aortic arch aneurysm (N=11, 23%) and prior to reoperative median sternotomy (N=4, 8%). Changes in intraoperative planning occurred most often in patients with calcified aorta (100% versus 10%, P<0.0001) than in patients with other indications, which follow their preoperative plan. Cardiopulmonary bypass (deep hypothermic circulatory arrest in 55% and conventional in the remaining) was uneventfully conducted in all patients but one (success rate 98%) due to undiagnosed inominate artery stenosis. Local complication was lymphatic drainage in three (6.2%) patients., Conclusions: Axillary artery is an alternative cannulation site in patients unsuitable to aortic cannulation. The type of indication may determine intraoperative changes in surgical planning.
