Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the study is to investigate the anatomical variations in the origin and course of the radial artery in the live subjects.
Methods: It was descriptive and cross-sectional study and data was collected from the live subjects. The sample was collected from Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC), Peshawar from jan 2021 to jan 2022. who were undergoing the diagnostic imaging for other clinical reasons and gave a consent to participate. The sample size of the study was 129. The sample was collected through structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed in three sections, including demographic information, medical history and radial artery assessment. The imaging technique involved the use of High-resolution Ultrasound to visualize the radial artery. Descriptive, inferential (chi-square and t-test) and imaging data analysis techniques were used to analyze the data statistically. All the analysis were conducted through SPSS version 22.
Results: The study analysis shown that the radial artery commonly originates from the cubital fossa (54.3%) but also varies, with some originating from the axilla or upper arm. Age and hand dominance were significantly associated with variations in radial artery length and course.
Conclusion: The study concluded that recognizing these anatomical variations can improve procedural accuracy and reduce complications in interventions involving the radial artery
