Abstract

Alar thoracic artery is rare branch arises from second part of axillary artery and supplies the axillary fat& axillary lymph nodes. As it is a rare branch there will be always risk of post operative bleeding if the artery not identified and ligated properly during operations. During our routine dissection we found this rare branch in a 57 year male cadaver. Knowledge of this rare branching pattern of axillary artery in axillary region will help surgeons before planning for any surgeries in axillary region, and also helpful for anesthetist's before giving brachial blocks during amputation of upper limb.

Abstract

The arterial and venous circulation of the bowel is complex, which provides a rich blood supply to aid in the digestive process and also serves to protect the bowel from potential ischemia or infarction. Right gastric artery (RGA) supplies the body of stomach from the right margin of the lesser omentum and also supplies the pyloric part of stomach. Knowledge of RGA origin variation is helpful for surgeons who are operating near lesser omentum and pyloric part of stomach. RGA usually arises from proper hepatic artery, but in our observation we found that RGA was arising directly from celiac trunk. If knowledge of this kind of observation will prevent complications like operative and post operative hemorrhages. Knowledge of RGA variations will be helpful during embolisation of RGA in patents undergoing hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy.
