This study presents variations in the origin of the branches of the Arteria Axillaris in 52 Korean. Both the right and left sides were studied so that a total of 104 arteries were observed.
1. The highest thoracic artery arose from the first part of the axillary artery in 83.6%.
2. The thoracoacromial artery arose from the second part of the axillary artery in 68.3%.
3. The lateral thoracic artery arose from the second part of the axillary artery in 53.8%.
4. The anterior circumflex humeral artery arose from the third part of the axillary artery in 66.3%.
5. The posterior circumflex humeral artery arose from the third part of the axillary artery in 53.8% and from a common trunk with the anterior circumflex humeral artery in 22.3%.
6. The subscapular artery arose from the third part of the axillary artery in 68.4%.
