The radial artery is commonly originated from the brachial artery in the cubital fossa at the level of the neck of the radius. It is the artery of choice for coronary artery angiography, percutaneous coronary artery intervention, cannulation, and others. Radial artery anomalies like high origin, tortuosity, and accessory branches are associated with the failure of such procedures. The main objective of this study is to study the variation in origin and course of the radial artery in cadavers.
