The thoracoacromial artery is a short but important branch of the second part of the axillary artery. It arises deep to the pectoralis minor muscle and quickly pierces the clavipectoral fascia. Almost immediately, it divides into four main branches: pectoral, deltoid, clavicular, and acromial. These branches supply the pectoral muscles, deltoid, subclavius, and the region over the acromion. The deltoid branch runs in the deltopectoral groove alongside the cephalic vein, making it a useful landmark during surgical procedures. Although relatively small, this artery plays a key role in the vascular network of the anterior shoulder and chest wall.
