The Normal Anatomy and Variations of the Bronchial Arteries: Evaluation with Multidetector Computed Tomography

Abstract: The origins, numbers, diameters, and courses of the bronchial arteries can vary substantially among individuals. Multidetector computed tomographic angiography enables a detailed road map of the bronchial arterial system to interventional radiologists and thoracic surgeons.

“…Knowledge of anatomical variants could reduce the time of diagnosis and intervention, patient radiation, and embolization material costs. It could also avoid complications such as ischemia from nonvisible anastomoses [3, 1518]. …”

“…The anatomical variants of the bronchial arteries have been reported in cadaveric studies, angiography, and computed tomography angiography (CTA); the latter was considered the most suitable method [14, 15, 1821]. Cauldwell et al (1948) [22] were the first to describe patterns of branching of the bronchial arteries and their classification is currently the most widely used [1, 15].…”

“…MDCT is one such modality and is routinely used in clinical practice. The anatomical characteristics of the right and the left BAs have been also reported using MDCT [13][14][15][16][17]. The findings of the representative MDCT studies of the BA anatomy are summarized in Table 2, along with those from the cadaver dissection studies [18,19], including this study.…”

“…D eviations from the classic, three-vessel anatomic configuration of the aortic arch are relatively common, occurring in nearly 13% of people [1]. One of the most common anatomic variants of aortic arch branching, occurring in approximately 0.5% to 2% of humans [2], is a left-sided aortic arch with an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA).…”
