Abstract

Aims: The primitive aim of the study is to determine the level of termination of the brachial artery in the South Indian population (Tamil Nadu and Puducherry). Methods and Material: The present study was carried out in 30 cadavers in the department of Anatomy, at Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences, Puducherry from 2014 to 2017. The dissection was done precisely according to the Cunningham’s manual of anatomy upper limband lower limb. The variations were observed and the photographs were taken for reference. Statistical Analysis Used: SPSS T- TEST. Results: In 60 upper limbs, 3 (5%) specimens possessed a higher level of bifurcation of brachial artery. Conclusions: A Higher bifurcation of brachial artery can be present in a significant number of patients; hence its presence should be evaluated during vascular mapping prior to any clinical procedures.
