circulation in the involved internal carotid artery territory is maintained by collateral …

In an attempt to describe the morphofunctional consequences of uni-and bilateral aplasia of
the common carotid artery (CCA), which is usually a vascular source of the external carotid …

Objective To understand the anatomic characteristics of the aortic arch (AA) and its major
branches to build a foundation toward performing endovascular surgery safely. Methods A …

Background Anatomical variants of the aortic arch and its branching patterns often appear
as an incidental finding during routine computed tomography (CT) scanning. These …

Variations in the position of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and the origin or
branching pattern of the external carotid artery are well known and documented. Here, we …

Clinical examination of the carotid arterial system has traditionally been used as a non-
specific screening tool of atherosclerotic pathology. Because it has not yet been shown to …

Anomalies of the aortic root vessels may present in adults and are common incidental
findings during standard vascular imaging. Knowledge of their presentation and …

We report the case of a 1-year-old female child, who developed symptomatic hemorrhage
from major aorto-pulmonary collaterals after surgery for Tetrology of Fallot. During the …

Distinct origins of the external carotid artery and the internal carotid artery (ICA) from the
aortic arch have been rarely described, and represent an aberrant development of the aortic …

Absence of the common carotid artery (CCA) is a rare anomaly. In the few cases described
