Abstract

The axillary artery plays a crucial role as a vascular conduit in the upper limb, providing essential blood supply to anatomical regions such as the shoulder, arm, and chest wall. This research investigates the variation in axillary artery anatomy and its implications for clinical practice. Our analysis focused on the distribution of vascular variations across different demographic and anatomical metrics. Significant differences were observed in the occurrence of High Bifurcation and Aberrant Branching variations across age groups and genders. Furthermore, variations in the physical characteristics such as diameter, length, and angle were noted across different types of vascular anomalies. Gender-based differences in vascular variations were notable, with distinct patterns observed between male and female subjects. These findings underscore the importance of understanding axillary artery anatomy variations in clinical settings for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
