Artery Brachial Deep

The Deep Brachial Artery (lat. a. brachalis profunda)[1], or the Thoracic Brachial Gland (lat. glandula axillaris profunda), is a thick artery that branches into the arm and shoulder blade and feeds them. It also connects the brachial artery with the radial artery and the cervical plexus.

The Brachial Deep Artery is formed from the thoracic branch of the brachial artery, which arises from the brachiocephalic trunk and is divided into the sternum and the phrenic branch. It passes through the muscular septa to the deep clavicular fossa, where it supplies the anterior and posterior muscles of the shoulder, the transverse chest muscle, and the head of the humerus.

It is important to know that the Brachial Artery may be cut during surgery if it is necessary to remove a cancerous tumor, especially in the area of ​​the cubital branch of the brachial arterial branch. Prevention methods such as pain management, de-epinaesthesia and reducing the risk of pain through tissue fixation can be used here.
