Key result
Cadaver report identifies rare bilateral duplication of the axillary artery with procedural implications.
Why the study?
An unusual bilateral variation in the arterial pattern of the axilla with two axillary arteries per side was observed, with embryological basis and clinical relevance due to frequent procedures in this region.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare anatomical variation of the axillary artery with potential clinical relevance for procedures in the axillary region.

May alert clinicians to rare axillary variants in procedures; leaves open questions on prevalence and embryology.
Jurjus et al. (1999) conducted a case report in Anatomical variation of the axillary artery (n=1). Bilateral double axillary artery was evaluated on Anatomical description of the axillary artery variation. An unusual bilateral variation featuring two major axillary arteries instead of one was observed in an embalmed cadaver, with potential embryological and clinical implications.
