| vena thoracica lateralis | <anatomy, vein> A tributary of the axillary vein that drains the lateral thoracic wall and communicates with the thoracoepigastric and intercostal veins. Synonym: vena thoracica lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena thoracoacromialis | <anatomy, vein> Corresponding to the artery of the same name, empties into the axillary vein, sometimes by a common trunk with the cephalic vein. Synonym: vena thoracoacromialis, thoracic axis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vena thoracoepigastrica | <anatomy, vein> One of two veins, sometimes a single vein, arising from the region of the superficial epigastric vein and opening into the axillary or the lateral thoracic vein, thus forming an anastomotic or collateral pathway between tributaries of the inferior and superior venae cavae.
