title: Cutaneous arterial patterns in the scapular region.
abstract: 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.
