【 摘 要 】

Radial artery is used for microsurgery as well as coronary artery grafting. Operators andcardiologists may encounter by anomalies of this artery during surgery. Hence, it isimportant to identify these anomalies. During a routine dissection in our department, weobserved a variation of radial artery on the left upper limb of an adult male cadaver.Because of the importance of the unusual patterns of the arteries for surgery and clinicalprocedures, we present a case of radial artery duplication in the upper limb.
