Abstract:Background Anatomical variations in arteries of the upper limb, such as presence of an accessory brachial artery, are common and widely described in the literature, mainly in cadaveric studies, but it is now possible to diagnose them using vascular Doppler ultrasound. Objectives To identify the incidence of accessory brachial artery using vascular Doppler ultrasound and compare the findings with cadaveric studies.
