Anatomy and radiology of the variations of aortic arch branches in 1,266 patients

“…[1,2,7,9,10,14,34]. Radiologists usually apply various types of angiography, MSCT, catheterisation, and trans-catheter coil occlusion, either for examination and identification of the aberrant arteries or for the treatment of their pathology [24,27].…”

“…They are, however, more important for thoracic operations, especially in vascular, cardiac, oesophageal, and mediastinal surgery [1,9,12,14,34]. Modern radiological techniques, especially computerised tomographic angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), multislice CT (MSCT), and MSCT angiography, have enabled an elegant insight into the thoracic blood vessels [21,27].…”

Right aortic arch with isolated left brachiocephalic artery

“…To date, 11 individual cases of right aortic arch with isolated left brachiocephalic artery have been reported in the literature (D'Cruz et al, 1966;Levine et al, 1966;Jones et al, 1979;Martin et al, 1979;Park, 1979;Harrington et al, 1981;Garti and Aygen, 1982;Fong and Venables, 1987;Delgado and Barturen, 1998;Fulwani et al, 1998;Tandon, 1998). In all these 11 cases, a patent left ductus arteriosus was present.…”

A Shunt From the Brain: Left Internal Carotid Artery Arising From the Left Pulmonary Artery in Tetralogy of Fallot

“…Numerous case reports of different anomalies exist in literature. Since the first cases reported by Fong and Venables in 1987 only 5 cases of CCA from a pulmonary artery have been described [2][3][4][5]. There is only 1 report of origin of an ICA from a pulmonary artery in the literature, but without any intracardiac abnormality [1].…”
