Perforation of Axillary Vein by a Branch of the Axillary Artery: an Anatomical Study

Anatomical variations in the region of axilla and pectoral region are very common. These variations need attention to avoid complications arising during surgeries and diagnostic and interventional invasive procedures in this region such as surgeries for breast carcinoma, venous access during central...
