humeral artery

The deltoid is supplied by the posterior circumflex humeral artery.

A fracture in this area is most likely to cause damage to the axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery.

An angiogram showed that Cone's aneurysm was in a branch of the posterior circumflex humeral artery.

The axillary nerve travels through the quadrangular space with the posterior circumflex humeral artery and vein.

Cone's aneurysm involved the right axillary artery and a smaller branch, the circumflex humeral artery.

It involved his right axillary and circumflex humeral arteries and resulted from stress from his pitching motion.

The Yankees confirmed last night that the surgery at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center will seek to repair the condition in the posterior circumflex humeral artery, near Cone's right armpit.

The anterior humeral circumflex artery (anterior circumflex artery, anterior circumflex humeral artery) is an artery in the arm.

In the quadrangular space, the axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery can be compressed or damaged due to space-occupying lesions or disruption in the anatomy due to trauma.

In the operation, which was performed at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in Manhattan, surgeons cut the right axillary and circumflex humeral arteries in Cone's shoulder region to remove the aneurysm.

In the cases of Rogers and Soderstrom, surgeons removed the aneurysm and tied off the affected posterior circumflex humeral artery, a branch of the axillary artery that was dispensable.

"Whatever factors were there tugging on that circumflex humeral artery before are still there tugging on the artery, and now you have got scar tissue around it and an artery that may be a little more prone to form a blood clot."

It gives branches to the deltoid muscle (which, however, primarily is supplied by the posterior circumflex humeral artery) and to the muscles between which it lies; it supplies an occasional nutrient artery which enters the humerus behind the deltoid tuberosity.
