Cutaneous arterial patterns in the scapular region.
The scapular and parascapular cutaneous branches of the circumflex scapular artery were studied in 28 cadaver sides using red latex dissection or lead oxide radiography. 2 vascular patterns have emerged depending on the dominant artery. The 2 patterns have important anatomical implications in reconstructive surgery.
