| The brachiocephalic artery is the first branch from the aortic arch. |
| When it arises as the first branch, it takes the place usually occupied by the brachiocephalic. |
| The great cardiac vein then drains into the superior vena cava or left brachiocephalic vein via the oblique vein of Marshall. |
| A significant increase in atherosclerotic lesions in the brachiocephalic arteries was also observed. |
| Not far below the collarbone and in back of the right side of the breastbone, two large veins, the right and left brachiocephalic, join to form the superior vena cava. |
| The common carotid artery originates from the brachiocephalic artery at right and the aortic arch at left. |
