Abstract

Objective: To study the anatomy and biometry of the radial artery and to report the implications of this study for daily practice in Cardiac Surgery.

Method: Radial arteries from 45 human cadavers (28 males and 17 females, average age 79.2 (92) fixed in 10% formalin were dissected. The proximal and distal internal calibers and lengths of these radial arteries were measured.

Results: Our results showed the presence of a single radial artery variation in 2.3% of the entire sample (1.1% of the 90 dissected upper limbs). The distance between the epicondyle and the emergence of the radial artery was 32.4 (6.67) mm in men and 30.7 (9.00) mm in women, with an average of 31.8 (7.58) mm. For the right upper limb, the mean proximal internal caliber of the radial artery was 3.16 (0.56) mm and its mean distal internal caliber was 2.62 (0.66) mm. For the left upper limb, the mean proximal internal caliber of the radial artery was 3.17 (0.59) mm and its mean distal internal caliber was 2.64 (0.68) mm. The mean length of the left radial artery was 197.0 (17) mm. The mean length of the right radial artery was 201.0 (33) mm.

Conclusion: It is very important to be aware of the possible anatomical variation of the radial artery. Despite its rarity, this knowledge may ensure a better safety and reliability of the harvesting technique for use as a graft.

在解剖实验室解剖的人体尸体上对桡动脉的解剖和生物特征研究。

目的：研究桡动脉的解剖学和生物力学，并报告本研究对心脏外科日常实践的意义。方法：解剖45具（男28例，女17例，平均年龄79.2（92））10%福尔马林固定的桡动脉。测量这些桡动脉的近端和远端内径和长度。结果：我们的结果显示，在整个样本中有2.3%（在90个解剖的上肢中有1.1%）存在单一的桡动脉变异。男性上髁和桡动脉出现之间的距离为32.4（6.67）mm，女性为30.7（9.00）mm，平均为31.8（7.58）mm。对于右上肢，桡动脉的平均近端内口径为3.16（0.56）mm，其平均远端内口径为2.62（0.66）mm，桡动脉近端平均内径3.17（0.59）mm，远端平均内径2.64（0.68）mm，左桡动脉平均长度197.0（17）mm，右桡动脉平均长201.0（33）mm。尽管这种知识很罕见，但可以确保作为移植物使用的收割技术具有更好的安全性和可靠性。

期刊介绍： Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit. Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest. Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
