TIA further divided into three anterior and two posterior branches, with subsequent multiple division into smaller branches. All branches were located anterior and right side to the trachea. The anterior branches supplied the infrahyoid muscles and the posterior ones supplied the thyroid gland inferior lobes and the inferior parathyroid glands. The TIA coexisted with a brachiocephalico-carotid trunk, derived after the left CCA and brachiocephalic artery fusion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The presence of multiple arterial branches over the trachea creates a high risk for excessive bleeding during tracheotomy or cricothyroidotomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276-023-03156-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]],"date-time":"2023-04-27T13:01:59Z","timestamp":1682600519000},"page":"813-817","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Thyroidea ima artery multiple branching pattern over the trachea"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5729-7755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T.","family":"Totlis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3077-1784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"K.","family":"Natsis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Achlatis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Pettas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4831-8005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Piagkou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"3156_CR1","volume-title":"Anatomie der Japaner 2: Das Arteriensystem der Japaner","author":"B Adachi","year":"1928","unstructured":"Adachi B, Hasebe K (1928) Anatomie der Japaner 2: Das Arteriensystem der Japaner, 2nd edn.
