Variants of the left aortic arch branches

Variants of the left aortic arch branches

The normal aorta has three branches from its arch, but variations in this pattern are not uncommon. Our interest was to correlate the documented statistics to the variants observed in our patients. This was done by randomly selecting 60 patients on whom arch aortograms were performed. Our patients d...
