Anomalies of the ramification of arteries in the upper extremity are an important consideration due to the large number of invasive procedures, both diagnostic and therapeutic, performed particularly in the cubital region of the upper limb. It is important for health professionals to be aware of arterial variation to prevent complications during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Here, we describe a rare unilateral anomaly of the brachial artery which courses subcutaneously through the right arm to the cubital region in a 75 year-old female patient.

AbstractArterial variations in the arm are of great clinical importance as this area is commonly involved in many surgical and invasive procedures. During dissection, we observed in the right upper limb a variation in the division and branching pattern of brachial artery in a female cadaver. The short segmented brachial artery divided about 6 cms. above the line joining the epicondyles of the humerus, but not in the cubital fossa. The course of the two divisions in the forearm is normal. Knowledge of these variation patterns is useful during surgeries.

The radial artery is commonly accessed for many vascular and reconstructive surgeries and also for arterial blood sampling and cannulation procedures. The radial artery commences from the brachial artery at the level of neck of the radius in the cubital fossa. Proximally, it is overlapped anteriorly by brachioradialis muscle, but elsewhere in its course it is covered only by the skin, superficial and deep fasciae. During routine dissection of left upper limb of adult male cadaver in accordance with ethical standards at the department of anatomy at Dr. RPGMC Kangra at Tanda, high origin of the radial artery from brachial artery was observed. The brachial artery after giving profunda brachii branch divides in the proximal 1/3rd of arm, corresponding to the origin of brachialis muscle into radial artery and a common trunk for ulnar and common interroseous arteries. The course of radial artery was superficial throughout the arm and forearm. The radial artery on the right side had normal origin and course. This high origin radial artery is termed as brachioradial artery in the literature. Variations in the arterial tree of upper limb are fairly common, having an embryological basis. Accurate anatomical knowledge of the variation is of great clinical importance in performing many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures so as to avoid any iatrogenic injury.

We report a case of 66-year-old woman with true aneurysm of the right brachial artery. She presented with acute upper extremity ischemia. The hand was cold and parenthesized and distal pulses were absent. CT angiography (CTA) revealed a 20*25 mm true brachial artery aneurysm. The aneurysm was thrombosed without distal run-off. We excised the aneurysm and reestablished the arterial flow by a reverse saphenous interposition graft. The postoperative course was uneventful.

AbstractDuring routine dissection of upper limb, a variation in the origin of radial artery was observed in a female cadaver of about 60 years. The radial artery is usually a smaller terminal branch of the brachial artery in the forearm. On the right side of the cadaver the radial artery was found to originate from second part of the axillary artery, whereas on the left side the origin of radial artery was found to be normal. This variant of radial artery has been rarely documented in literature. Accurate anatomy of radial artery and its variations have definite diagnostic, interventional, and surgical significance.

ABSTRACT Thyroidea ima is a rare anomalous artery supplying the thyroid gland apart from the superior and inferior thyroid arteries. It is of surgical importance in thyroid, parathyroid and tracheal surgeries. Our study aims to highlight two cases of thyroidea ima artery found during thyroidectomy: • Case 1: Thyroidea ima artery was seen arising from the medial surface of the right common carotid artery in a female patient, who underwent total thyroidectomy. • Case 2: Thyroidea ima artery was seen arising from the anterior surface of the right innominate artery, in a female patient, who underwent right hemithyroidectomy. Conclusion Thyroidea ima artery, although a rare arterial variation, a thorough regional anatomic knowledge and meticulous dissection will not only help us in identifying such a vascular variation, also help us in preventing an accidental injury.

Native arterio-venous fistula (AVF) are the preferred mode of repeated vascular access for the chronic renal failure patients surviving on hemodialysis because of their easy accessibility, good long term patency, low complication rate and cost-effectiveness. Creation of a fistula between the radial or brachial artery and a suitable adjacent vein is the most commonly practiced option. However the major upper arm veins of the CKD patients are often found thrombosed, cord like and not suitable for AV anastomosis. A 48 years old male patient of chronic kidney disease with a permanent catheter placed in the right subclavian vein was referred to create an AV fistula. On exploration none of the upper limb veins was found suitable for fistula formation. The proximal part of the left GSV was harvested from patient’s left upper thigh and was used to make a connection between left brachial artery at cubital fossa and the left axillary vein. To avoid over flooding of the limb vasculature, partial banding of the left axillary vein was done distal to this anastomosis. When all options in both upper limbs are exhausted, autologous great saphenous grafts may be a very useful tool for the surgeons in creating upper limb AV fistulas in difficult situations Bangladesh Heart Journal 2018; 33(2) : 134-137

Background: Although hand and upper limb malformations are quite frequent, up to now very few reports have been published on epidemiology. The aim of this study is to evaluate the number of infants who presented with hand and upper limb malformations from 2010 to 2015 in Italy. Methods: A retrospective analysis of a pediatric population presenting with hand and upper extremity malformations was carried out, gathering reports achieved from eight Italian Centers of pediatric hand surgery. Other factors such as gender, date and region of birth, family distribution of malformations and associated syndromes, were analysed. Results: Out of 3,100,421 live births, 765 children presented with hand and upper limb malformations. The incidence was 2,5/10,000 live births with a predominance of males and the right side. Radial polydactyly was the anomaly with the highest percentage, closely followed by simple syndactyly, simbrachidactyly and complex syndactyly. Less common conditions were the triphalangic thumb, thumb in palm, proximal radioulnar synostosis and Sprengel deformity. Inheritance of and familial predisposition to those malformations was recorded in 25 cases, while 84 children presented with syndromes related to hand anomalies. Conclusions: In conclusion the incidence of hand and upper extremity malformations in Italy is lower than that registered in other countries. The retrospective nature of the study combined with the fact that some defects frequently evade pediatric hand surgeon consultations are some possible limitations of the study. However, our data confirmed that, in spite of the decrease in the birth rate in Italy, the trend of congenital hand disorders maintained a stable trend. We aim to integrate this study with a prospective analysis and to involve the institutional health authorities in other countries so as to register the correct incidence of hand and upper extremity defects.

AbstractQuantification of upper extremity movement is a common objective in both research and clinical practice. Currently, methods based on angle-angle diagrams, also called cyclograms, seem to be promising. Nevertheless, compared to the study of lower limbs, the concept of angle-angle diagrams has not been systematically used to study upper limb movements during walking. The paper describes two examples of new methods based on angle-angle diagrams for application in rehabilitation and assistive robotics. The cyclograms represent information about the relationship between the angles and their changes over time. We used cyclograms as patterns for learning artificial neural networks and predicting the movement of upper-limb. Together with artificial intelligence, cyclograms offer wide scope of application in prosthesis control systems. Using bilateral cyclogram, the information about the relationship between the right and left arm joint angles is used to evaluate the symmetry of movements. The method based on the orientation of the bilateral cyclogram can be used as an additional method for determining the symmetry of movements of the upper limbs or exo-prosthesis.

Introduction: Conventional knowledge of the brachial artery, the principal artery of the upper limb & its branches has played a major role in vascular surgeries. Literature along with various cadaveric & clinical studies suggest that brachial artery vary widely in origin, course and branching pattern. The great variability of this arterial pattern may be attributed to the failure of regression of some paths of embryonic arterial trunks. Anatomical knowledge of this principal artery and its variations has many clinical implications especially in surgeries related to orthopedic and vascular re-constructive procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was conducted on 56 upper limbs of different age group and sex (19 Male and 9 Female) The brachial arteries were identified and branching pattern and relations of the brachial artery with brachial plexus in arm was observed and presence or absence of variations were documented. Results: Out of 56 upper limbs studies, 53 (94.64%) limbs showed normal morphological pattern of brachial artery, 3 (5.35%) limbs showed superficial brachial artery, 1 limb (1.78%) showed tortuous and SBA with trifurcation into radial artery, ulnar artery and common interosseous artery in the cubital fossa. Conclusion: The study of Brachial artery and variation in its course and branching pattern is clinically important for surgeons, ortho-paedicians operating on the supracondylar fracture of humerus and radiologists performing angiographic studies on the upper limb. KEY WORDS: Common Interosseous Artery, Median Nerve, Superficial Brachial Artery, Trifurcation, Ulnar Artery.
