Inferior ulnar collateral artery the anterior ulnar recurrent. Behind the medial epicondyle a branch anastomoses with the superior ulnar collateral and posterior ulnar recurrent arteries. Inferior ulnar collateral artery The inferior ulnar collateral artery (anastomotica magna artery) is a artery in the arm. It arises about 5 cm. above the elbow from the brachial artery. It passes medialward upon the Brachialis, and piercing the medial intermuscular septum, winds around the back of the humerus between the Triceps brachii and the bone, forming, by its junction with the profunda brachii, an arch above the olecranon fossa. As the vessel lies on the brachialis, it gives
Peripheral artery disease the severity of disease seen on angiogram. It is not clear if screening for disease in the general population is useful as it has not been properly studied. This includes screening with the ankle-brachial index. Testing for coronary artery disease or carotid artery disease is of unclear benefit. While PAD is a risk factor for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), there is no data on screening individuals with asymptomatic PAD for abdominal aortic aneurysms. In people with symptomatic PAD screening by ultrasound for AAA is not unreasonable. Depending on the severity of the disease, these steps can be taken, according to
