Abstract: The ligamentum arteriosum (LA) is the vestigial fibrous remnant of the ductus arteriosus (DA), a fetal vessel arising from the left dorsal segment of the sixth aortic arch that connects the left pulmonary artery to the aortic arch.

The current study aims to further elucidate the structural characteristics of the LA via hi… Show more
