the
ulnar artery joined with the large first dorsal interosseal artery to form the SPA and supplied thumb and index finger in 8% of cases among 86 dissected cadaveric specimens, [sup][3] whereas in our case, it does not supply the index finger.
Calori in 1868 published two cases, one concerning an absent
ulnar artery replaced with a superficially located artery, branching from the AB very proximally and passing superficially to the flexor retinaculum (retinaculum musculorum flexorum) into the hand; the other branching from the AA, with a thick branch in the axilla, running superficially in the arm and forearm and passing superficially to the flexor retinaculum into the hand--both cases cannot be classified as the ABMS [23].
The distal half of the SUA, from the level of the mid-forearm to wrist, follows a typical course for the
ulnar artery: at the wrist it was accompanied medially by the ulnar nerve and the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris, then traversed the superficial part of the flexor retinaculum, and continued across the palm as the superficial palmar arterial arch.
For the first 30 consecutive patients in Group W, blood flow in both RAs and
ulnar artery were examined by Doppler ultrasound.
Keen [6] subdivides superficial brachial artery (found in 12.3% dissections) into 3 types: (a) Those superficial brachial arteries which continue in cubital fossa and bifurcate as usual into radial and ulnar arteries (3.6%); (b) Superficial brachial artery continues as radial artery and known as 'High origin of radial artery' (5.9%); (c) Superficial brachial artery continues as
ulnar artery and known as 'High origin of
ulnar artery' (2.8%).
The life base pulse or the pulse which determines one's life span should be read on the
ulnar artery. The death pulse should be read on the posterior tibial artery as Tibetan medical philosophy asserts that when the death cycle takes place, dissolution or disintegration of the energies of the body begin from the lower part of the body.
The
ulnar artery repair was done and good backflow from the distal radial artery was observed.
In such a scenario, we use the
ulnar artery, which is connected to the radial artery.
The postmortem said Dr Kelly had five cuts to his wrist and severed his
ulnar artery. There was "heavy bloodstains" over his left arm and a "total lack of classical defence wounds against a sharp weapon attack".
Painkillers The post mortem exam revealed that Kelly had five cuts to his wrist and had severed his
ulnar artery.
