“…1,10 The prevalence range of type 1 is reported to be 0.78–54.13%. 5,20 The “N” (or “H”) shaped arrangement or embryonal type (type 2) is a pattern where a poorly developed MAV ends into the MCV which connects CV and BV in the cubital region with a prevalence ranging from 9% to 98%. 21,22 The “I” or “O” type (type 3) presents with no communicating branch between CV and BV with a prevalence ranging from 1.1% to 37%.…”

Background The aim of this systematic review is to quantitatively synthesize evidence on the prevalence of superficial vein patterns in the cubital region. Method A systematic literature search was conducted through a number of electronic databases. We identified 27 studies, including 9924 arms, which met the inclusion criteria. Results Meta-analysis showed that "N" shaped arrangement type was the commonest pattern (≈44-60%) followed by "M" shaped arrangement (≈20-25%). The prevalence of "M" type and "M"-like type was significantly higher in males, whereas females showed a significant predominance of "I" or "O" type. No significant differences in various pattern types were found for laterality. The frequency of "M" type is significantly lesser in Indian and Japanese populations, but they have significantly higher frequency of "N" type. In Malay population, "I" or "O" type was significantly higher, while the brachial CV was poorly developed or missing significantly in Indian population. Conclusion This evidence-based clinical anatomy review contributes to our anatomical knowledge regarding the true prevalence of pattern types of the superficial veins in cubital region in humans and, subsequently, might help in performing safer venous access and more direct approaches to these veins, especially under emergency conditions.

“…Although there are numerous variations of the superficial venous system in the cubital fossa, it was classified into several types by investigators. Most of them classified the courses of the superficial veins into four or six types [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. However, none of these have conducted large scale examinations using any specific equipment in alive human.…”

The purpose of this study was to report variations of the cubital superficial vein patterns in the Korean subjects, which was investigated by using venous illuminator, AccuVein. The 200 Korean subjects were randomly chosen from the patients and staff of the Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center in Daegu, Korea. After excluding the inappropriate cases for detecting venous pattern, we collected 174 cases of right upper limbs and 179 cases of left upper limbs. The superficial veins of the cubital fossa were detected and classified into four types according to the presence of the median cubital vein (MCV) or median antebrachial vein. The type II, presenting the both cephalic and basilic vein connected by the MCV, was most common (177 upper limbs, 50.1%). Although the most common type in male and female was different as type I (108 upper limbs, 49.3%) and type II (75 upper limbs, 56.0%), respectively, statistical significance was not detected (P=0.241). The frequency of the each types between right and left upper limbs was also not different (P=0.973). Among 154 subjects who were observed the venous pattern in the both upper limbs, 76 subjects (49.3%) had the same venous pattern. Using AccuVein to investigate the venous pattern has an advantage of lager scale examination compared to the cadaver study. Our results might be helpful for medical practitioner to be aware of the variation of the superficial cubital superficial vein.

OBJETIVO: Determinar parâmetros anátomo-cirúrgicos para o acesso rápido, seguro e preciso da veia basílica no terço distal do braço e avaliar os aspectos anatômicos relacionados à presença, número e sintopia neural na região. MÉTODO: Foram utilizados 30 membros superiores de cadáveres adultos, brasileiros, do sexo masculino (27 a 58 anos), fixados em solução de formalina a 10%. Foi criado um método trigonométrico utilizando-se parâmetros anatômicos, determinando-se um triângulo cujo ápice foi o ponto de referência para a localização da veia basílica no terço distal do braço. A região foi dissecada e a veia exposta. O método foi também utilizado na dissecação venosa de 15 pacientes. RESULTADOS: A veia basílica foi encontrada na face medial do terço distal do braço de todos os cadáveres, localizando-se no ápice do trígono em 70% dos casos e em situação medial em relação ao mesmo em 30%. Em 83,33% havia ramos dos nervos cutâneos mediais do braço e antebraço junto à adventícia da veia basílica. Foram encontrados dois ramos dos nervos cutâneos mediais do braço e antebraço relacionados a cada veia basílica em 90% dos membros superiores e apenas um ramo no restante. Em 30% dos casos existiam ramos posteriores à veia basílica, o que deve ser considerado ao se realizar a dissecação da mesma. CONCLUSÕES: O método proposto para a localização da veia basílica mostrou-se eficaz, rápido, seguro e preciso, indicando ser uma boa opção de acesso venoso no paciente em estado crítico que necessite de tal procedimento.
