Abstract 209: Brachioradial Artery and Its Clinical Significance in Neuroendovascular Procedures

It has now become common practice to use the radial artery as an access site for neuro‐interventional procedures because it has been associated with fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and patient preference. However, the radial artery has high anatomical variability regarding its origin and course. It usually originates from the brachial artery in the cubital fossa. It is uncommon for the radial artery to demonstrate high origin either from the brachial artery in the arm or directly from the axillary artery. A comprehensive understanding of the possible anatomical variants of the vasculature of the upper limb is of great clinical importance. We report a case of the brachioradial artery, also known as the high origin of the radial artery, which arises from the axillary artery.
