    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Percutaneous catheterization is a common vascular access procedure.
    • The femoral artery approach is widely used but can be associated with complications.
    • Alternative access sites are being explored to improve patient safety and procedural success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe modifications and anatomical considerations for safer percutaneous catheterization of the brachial artery.
    • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of the brachial artery approach compared to the femoral artery approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of axillary-brachial artery anatomy and brachial plexus nerve pathways.
    • Description of suggested modifications for percutaneous brachial artery catheterization technique.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparative analysis of potential risks and benefits versus the femoral artery approach.

    • Main Results:

    • The brachial artery approach, when performed with suggested modifications, offers a high degree of safety.
    • Anatomical understanding of the axillary-brachial artery and surrounding nerves is crucial for minimizing risks.
    • The safety profile of the brachial artery approach is comparable to the femoral artery approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous brachial artery catheterization is a viable and safe alternative to femoral access.
    • This approach should be considered when femoral arteries are unsuitable for catheterization.
    • Adherence to anatomical guidelines enhances procedural safety and efficacy.
