When the literature is examined, studies evaluating the profunda brachii artery (PBA) are limited as most studies only investigate the artery’s origin. In 44 upper extremities belonging to 24 human anatomical specimens, single and double PBAs were observed in 39 and five cases, respectively. In cases with a single PBA, the origin was the brachial artery (BA) in 35 cases and the posterior circumflex humeral artery in four cases. In cases with double PBAs, the artery’s origin was the BA.Morphometric measurements of single and double arteries originating from the first branch BA were evaluated separately and compared according to sex and side. Our study, in which the PBA was examined morphologically and morphometrically, contributes to the literature anatomically and radiologically in treating humerus fractures and lateral arm-flap applications by surgeons.

Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome (OWR) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurrent epistaxis, mucocutaneous or visceral telangiectasias, and arteriovenous malformations in the lungs, liver, brain, and gastrointestinal tract. Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) can also occur in OWR patients. HAAs are the second most common type of visceral artery aneurysm, and mortality rates are high owing to the lack of a tamponade effect. Anatomical variations of the celiacomesenteric vasculature are common, and the most common variation is that of the right hepatic artery originating from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). We present the endovascular treatment of a patient with OWR and an aberrant right HAA originating from the SMA, with coil embolization and stent grafting. Giant HAAs can be treated endovascularly. However, stent graft placement should be reconsidered because of the need for antithrombotic medication, which may increase the incidence of epistaxis attacks in that patient group.
