What is the main function of the brachiocephalic artery?
Are there any common health issues associated with the brachiocephalic artery?
The brachiocephalic artery can develop atherosclerosis, a buildup of plaque that can restrict blood flow and cause cardiovascular disease. It can also be affected by aneurysms, a bulging of the artery wall that can lead to a rupture and life-threatening bleeding.
