hierarchical_section_title: Clavipectoral triangle
context_page_description: The clavipectoral triangle is an anatomical region found in humans and other animals. It is bordered by the following structures:
  Clavicle
  Lateral border of Pectoralis Major muscle
  Medial border of Deltoid muscle
  It contains the cephalic vein, and deltopectoral fascia, which is a layer of deep fascia that invests the three structures that make up the border of the triangle. The deltoid branch of the thoracoacromial artery also passes through this triangle, giving branches to both the deltoid and pectoralis major muscles.
  The subclavian vein and the subclavian artery may be accessed via this triangle, as they are deep to it.

  Lateral border of Pectoralis Major muscle  (inferiorly)
  Medial border of Deltoid muscle   (superiorly)
  It contains the cephalic vein, and deltopectoral fascia, which is a layer of deep fascia that invests the three structures that make up the border of the triangle.
