Variations in the origin of the vertebral artery and its level of entry into the transverse foramen diagnosed by CT angiography

Abstract: The total prevalence of variation in the origin of the LVA was 6.0 % and of the RVA, 3.8 %. The total prevalence of variation in entry level into the TF was 7.0 % for the LVA and 6.2 % for the RVA. Recognition and reporting of these variations is important in interpreting CT angiography to prevent complications during surgery of the aortic arch or lower neck.

“…Direct aortic origin of the left VA between the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery was found 4.1% which is the most seen variation and called as type 3 aortic arch in most of the studies. At the same study right VA originating from aberrant right subclavian artery prevalence was 0.4% [16]. In our study there were 13 patients with variations in the origin of the VA (5.1%).…”

“…In the literature vertebral arteries are investigated by colour Doppler ultrasound, anatomic studies, computed tomography angiography (CTA) and conventional angiography in many years [10,11,[14][15][16]. B-mode and colour Doppler ultrasound is the first--step method in evaluation of vertebrobasilar system.…”

“…
Dear Sir, We read with interest and pleasure the recently published article: "Variations in the origin of the vertebral artery and its level of entry into the transverse foramen diagnosed by CT angiography" by Uchino et al [1]. Unfortunately, the authors forgot to mention or ignored our previously published work: "Origin and course of the extracranial vertebral artery: CTA findings and embryologic considerations" [2].
