	Cephalic vein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In human anatomy, the cephalic vein is a superficial vein of the upper limb.
		It communicates with the basilic vein via the median cubital vein at the elbow and is located in the superficial fascia along the anterolateral surface of the biceps brachii muscle.
		Superiorly the cephalic vein passes between the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles (deltopectoral groove) and through the deltopectoral triangle, where it empties into the axillary vein.

	Vein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As an exception, in the pulmonary circulation oxygenated blood from the lungs is taken to the left part of the heart by pulmonary veins.
		The pulmonary veins carry relatively oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
		Veins are used medically as points of access to the blood stream, permitting the withdrawal of blood specimens (venipuncture) for testing purposes, and enabling the infusion of fluid, electrolytes, nutrition, and medications.

	Vascular Case Report 6
		There is a surgical arteriovenous fistula connecting the distal left brachial artery to the cephalic vein with a severe focal stenosis of the venous outflow from the fistula approximately 2 cm from the anastomosis site (arrow).
		Early thrombosis is most commonly due to a technical error such as a choice of poor vein or narrowing of the lumen of the artery or vein during anastomosis.
		However, it is most commonly due to an acquired stenosis of the runoff vein, attributed to mechanical endothelial damage from the shearing effect of the high pressure or the pulsatile arterial blood flow in the venous system leading to venous intimal hyperplasia.
