Objective The aortic arch (AA) is the main conduit of the left side of the heart, providing a
blood supply to the head, neck, and upper limbs. As it travels through the thorax, the pattern …

Congenital anomalies of the aortic arch include diverse subgroups of malformations that
may be clinically silent or may present with severe respiratory or esophageal symptoms …

Objective To examine the potential of aortic arch variants, specifically bovine aortic arch,
isolated left vertebral artery, and aberrant right subclavian artery, as markers for thoracic …

Recent studies have confirmed a close association between various medical conditions
(intracranial aneurysm, abdominal aortic aneurysm, temporal arteritis, autoimmune disorder …

Studies have shown that patients harboring bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) or bovine aortic arch
(BAA) are more likely than the general population to develop ascending aortic aneurysm …

Introduction Typical branching pattern of the left-sided aortic arch consists of the
brachiocephalic trunk (BCT), the left common carotid artery (LCCA) and the left subclavian …

Feasibility assessment and planning of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) require
computed tomography (CT)-based analysis of geometric aortic features to identify adequate …

ABSTRACT Background and Aim of Study Traditionally aortic arch anomalies have been
viewed as a “normal” and clinically insignificant; therefore, they are often overlooked by …

Background Bovine aortic arch (BA) occurs in approximately 15–35% of the US population
and is regarded as a clinically insignificant, normal variant. The aim of this study was to …

Objective Congenital aortic arch variations are more common in patients with thoracic aortic
disease for reasons unknown. Additionally, little is understood about their relation to type B …
