More information: A single finding of an enlarged artery can mean several things. If you have no symptoms of arterial problems in your hand, it most likely is a normal variant. You have two arteries that feed your hand, if one of them doesn't develop normally, another one, such as the interosseus can take over. If you are having symptoms, see a surgeon who can examine you.

Vascular variance: Unless there's a sx (pain, numbness, tingling), this finding is within the realm of normality. The anterior interosseus artery is a branch from the common interosseus artery from the ulnar artery in the volar forearm... The asymmetry may be simply due to your 'right-handedness'... No intervention is recommended...
