The High Origin of the Radial Artery (Brachioradial Artery): Its Anatomical Variations Clinical Significance and Contribution to the Blood Supply of the Hand

摘要

Background This study thoroughly analyzes the anatomic variations of the brachioradial artery (radial artery of high origin) based on the variability of its origin, the presence and types of anastomosis with the brachial artery in the cubital fossa (“cubital crossover” or “cubital connection”), and the pattern of radial recurrent arteries, as well as the vascular territory within the hand.
