Resumo
A artéria radial origina-se principalmente da artéria braquial na fossa cubital, situando-se profundamente ao músculo braquiorradial na parte superior e superficialmente na parte inferior. Recentemente, a artéria radial tem sido cada vez mais usada em procedimentos coronarianos. No entanto, observa-se que a artéria radial apresenta variações de origem, curso e padrão de ramificação. O conhecimento preciso dessas variações é essencial para um resultado bem-sucedido. Considerando a imensa importância clínica associada a essa artéria, o objetivo deste estudo foi descrever os detalhes da artéria radial e destacar as implicações associadas, que servirão como referência imediata para os cirurgiões vasculares. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura em várias bases de dados, utilizando termos relacionados à artéria radial. A análise revelou que a artéria radial varia em sua origem, curso e padrão de ramificação. As informações sobre essas variações podem ajudar os cirurgiões vasculares a realizarem vários procedimentos com o mínimo de complicações.
