The radial artery most often arises from the brachial artery in the cubital fossa, lying deep to the brachioradialis in the upper part and superficial in the lower part. Recently, the radial artery has increasingly been used for coronary procedures. However, the radial artery is observed to vary in origin, course, and branching pattern. Precise knowledge of these parameters is essential for successful outcomes. Considering the immense clinical significance associated with this artery, this study was conducted. The aim is to expound the details of the radial artery and to highlight the associated implications, serving as a ready reference for vascular surgeons. The study was conducted using various databases and various terms related to the radial artery were used to search the literature. The literature reveals that the radial artery varies in origin, course, and branching pattern and information on these parameters will help vascular surgeons to carry out various procedures with minimum complications.
桡动脉通常起自肘窝处的肱动脉，在上部位于肱桡肌深面，在下部位于浅面。近来，桡动脉越来越多地被用于冠状动脉手术。然而，观察发现桡动脉在起源、走行和分支模式上存在变异。准确了解这些参数对于手术成功至关重要。鉴于该动脉具有巨大的临床意义，开展了本研究。目的是阐述桡动脉的详细情况并突出相关影响，为血管外科医生提供一份现成的参考资料。本研究通过使用各种数据库并采用与桡动脉相关的各种术语检索文献。文献表明，桡动脉在起源、走行和分支模式上存在变异，有关这些参数的信息将有助于血管外科医生进行各种手术并将并发症降至最低。
