Abstract

The brachial artery is a major artery of arm and continuation of the axillary artery. It begins at the lower border of the teres major muscle and ends at the level of the neck of the radius in deeper part of cubital fossa by dividing into radial and ulnar arteries. The brachial artery variations were observed in its course, branching pattern and division. Higher division of brachial artery is one of the common variations ranging from 15% to 20% of population. The course, termination and precise knowledge of variations of Brachial Artery is an important aspect in the clinical practice of Physician, Vascular surgeons, and Radiologist.
