On the other hand, the phrenic nerve runs behind the subclavian vein. (These three nerves should be recognized as the phrenic nerve "group".) As a result of detailed observations, four cases out of 246 body sides (123 corpses) dissected at the Niigata University School of Medicine unveiled nerves to the subclavius running behind the subclavian vein. Including these four cases, the relationship between the phrenic nerve "group" and the subclavian vein could be classified into five basic categories. The phenomena were related to the morphogenesis of the subclavian vein. In consideration of the developmental pattern of the human venous system, the subclavian vein indicated five different developmental pathways into which it might develop.}, pages = {13--18}, title = {Morphogenesis of the Subclavian Vein Relative to the Course of the Nerve to the Subclavius Muscle and the Phrenic Nerve}, volume = {44}, year = {1996} }
