“…A mean number of right and left BAs were 1.44 ± 0.58 and 1.35 ± 0.54 per patient, respectively, which is consistent with previous studies [9,11–15] . Also, proportion of IBT and CBT showed similarity to previous studies [9,15–17] . More than half of patients had IBT (69.7% in the present study, 58–84% in previous studies), almost half of right BAs originated as IBT (48.2% in present study, 52–53% in previous studies), and <10% of left BAs originated as IBT (1.6% in the present study, 3.6–4% in previous studies).…”

To identify and evaluate the spectrum and prevalence of variations in bronchial artery (BA) origin by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in a large population with hemoptysis. From July 2008 to June 2015, data from 600 individuals with hemoptysis who underwent MDCT and DSA were retrospectively analyzed. The pattern of BA origin was investigated and classified according to distribution. A total of 1674 BAs were evaluated, 866 were right BA and 808 were left BA. Most BAs originated from the upper descending thoracic aorta, classified as orthotopic origin (n = 1464, 87.5%). Among ectopic origin BAs (n = 210, 12.5%), concavity of the aortic arch was the most common (n = 107). The most common distribution pattern was a single artery in each side (n = 262). According to our classification, Type I was most common (n = 457), including BAs originating in orthotopic fashion from the descending thoracic aorta. Type II (n = 2) was defined as BAs originating from the aortic arch or ascending aorta. Type III (not found) was defined as BAs originating from subclavian arteries, common carotid arteries, and their branch vessels. Type IV (n = 92) was Type I and II combined, Type V (n = 41) was Type I and III combined, Type VI (not found) was Type II and III combined, and Type VII (n = 8) was Type I, II, and III combined. Variations of BA origin could be systematically described in detail.

“…Outside of this, the blood supply to essential organs, such as the lungs, may be disturbed as well. Since the right bronchial artery, which supplies the right lung, typically branches off the right 3rd PIA, any variation within the right 3rd PIA may carry consequences for the blood supply to that region [ 10 – 12 ]. For instance, in the current case, the 3rd PIA branched from the right DBVA which may have had downstream effects on the right bronchial artery.…”

“…These branches supply structures such as intercostal, pectoral, serratus, and deep back muscles, as well as the spinal cord and associated nerve roots, mammary glands, and skin [ 8 , 9 ]. The right bronchial artery, which supplies areas of the right lung, often originates from the 3rd PIA on the right side [ 10 – 12 ].…”

Several thoracic vasculature variations were observed in an 81-year-old male cadaver during routine dissection. These included 5 common trunks of posterior intercostal arteries, a descending branch of the right vertebral artery, and atypical neurovascular relationships within intercostal spaces. On the right side, two common trunks of posterior intercostal arteries were observed supplying the 4th-7th intercostal spaces and 9th-11th intercostal spaces, respectively. There was also a small accessary branch supplying the 9th intercostal space. The first three posterior intercostal spaces on the right were supplied by a descending branch of the vertebral artery. On the left side, three common trunks of posterior intercostal arteries were encountered, supplying intercostal spaces 3-5, 6-7, and 11 plus the subcostal space. An atypical neurovascular relationship was observed in the right 6th intercostal space, as well as the left 2nd, 3rd, and 6th intercostal spaces. This is the first case report that presents 5 common trunks of posterior intercostal arteries, as well as common trunks in conjunction with other arterial variation in the posterior thoracic wall. These variations carry a high level of clinical significance and may be helpful in guiding decision-making related to surgical procedures related to the posterior thoracic cavity and spine.
