Arteries of the Upper Limbs01:12

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

3.3K
The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Hemodialysis I: Introduction

4.0K
Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Biology

Background:

  • The radial artery is being re-evaluated as an arterial conduit for myocardial revascularization.
  • Its use offers a complementary option to traditional grafts in coronary surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the technical aspects of radial artery harvesting.
  • To discuss the biological and vasoactive properties of radial artery grafts.
  • To summarize mid- to long-term angiographic outcomes and the role of antispasmodic therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on radial artery grafting in coronary surgery.
  • Analysis of studies detailing harvesting techniques.
  • Evaluation of data on graft patency and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Radial artery harvesting involves specific technical considerations.
  • Grafts exhibit favorable biological and vasoactive characteristics.
  • Mid- to long-term angiographic results are generally positive.
  • Antispasmodic therapy plays a role in graft performance.

Conclusions:

  • The radial artery is a viable and increasingly accepted arterial conduit for myocardial revascularization.
  • Understanding its properties and optimizing its use, including antispasmodic therapy, is crucial for successful outcomes.
