VARIATIONS IN SUBSCAPULAR ARTERY: A STUDY
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the variations in the origin of subscapular artery and its branches in the dissecting room. METHOD: The morphological study of 40 formalin fixed adult human cadavers of both sexes was carried out following a standard dissecting manual. OBSERVATION: Variations in origin of Subscapular artery was observed in 15% of the cadavers, origin from 2nd part of axillary artery in 15%, as a common branch with Lateral thoracic artery in 10%, associated variations of posterior circumflex humeral artery, thoraco dorsal artery and circumflex scapular artery in 10%. CONCLUSION: In comparison with other similar studies, the present one also shows a near to equal scenario which helps us to strengthen the already existing knowledge. Appreciation of these variations is important to vascular surgeons for vascular graft surgeries, general and on co-surgeons while exposure of axilla and axillary artery so also to radiologists and anatomists.
