Neurologic symptoms predominate and typically appear right away, even in the absence of a substantial clinical ischemia of the hand. All three of the forearm nerves can cause pain, paresthesias, numbness, and diffuse motor weakness or paralysis as symptoms. These deficiencies are frequently more pronounced distally and less severe proximally.
The left brachiocephalic vein is more than twice the length of the right brachiocephalic vein. [3] These veins merge to form the superior vena cava, a great vessel, posterior to the junction of the first costal cartilage with the manubrium of the sternum. [3] The brachiocephalic veins are the major veins returning blood to the superior vena ...
Complication of catheter insertion rarely causes arteriovenous fistula. It is usually caused by brachial artery puncture because brachial artery is located between two brachial veins. [6] Surgically created Cimino fistula is used as a vascular access for hemodialysis. Blood must be aspirated from the body of the patient, and since arteries are ...
In persistent left superior vena cava, the left brachiocephalic vein does not develop fully and the left upper limb and head and neck drain into the right atrium via the coronary sinus. [ 5 ] In isolation, the variation is considered benign, but is very frequently associated with cardiac abnormalities (e.g. ventricular septal defect ...
Tracheoinnominate fistula (TIAF or TIF) is an abnormal connection between the innominate artery (brachiocephalic trunk or brachiocephalic artery) and the trachea. A TIF is a rare but life-threatening iatrogenic injury, usually the sequela of a tracheotomy .
The brachiocephalic artery, brachiocephalic trunk, or innominate artery is an artery of the mediastinum that supplies blood to the right arm, head, and neck. [1] [2] It is the first branch of the aortic arch. [3] Soon after it emerges, the brachiocephalic artery divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery. [4]
The experience was harrowing at times, like when she underwent grueling rounds of chemotherapy, (“My first round felt like a giant root canal,” she recalls.“My jaw hurt so bad like someone ...
In anatomy, a fistula (pl.: fistulas or fistulae /-l i,-l aɪ /; from Latin fistula, "tube, pipe") is an abnormal connection (i.e. tube) joining two hollow spaces (technically, two epithelialized surfaces), such as blood vessels, intestines, or other hollow organs to each other, often resulting in an abnormal flow of fluid from one space to the other.
