Abnormal Branching of the Axillary Artery: Subscapular Common Trunk. A Case Report

An unusual unilateral variation in the branching pattern of axillary artery was observed in a 60 year oíd female embalmed cadáver. The axillary artery had only two branches arising from its proximal (first) part and no branches from its remaining distal (second & third) parts. The branches a...
