Left-sided cervical aortic arch

Congenital Aplasia of the Common Carotid Artery: A Comprehensive Review

“…A case of the separated origin of the le ECA and ICA from the PPIA was a unique case [54], while the aortic arch either in the form of the NAA or LCAA or RCAA or DAA was a vascular source of the separated ECA and ICA in most of the cases. Only the le ECA and ICA, although rarely, originated from the LCAA [33,70], or RCAA [71,72]; the right ECA and ICA originated from the RCAA in one third of the cases.…”

“…In addition, the le ECA could originate either from a remnant of the third PAA or directly from the le fourth PAA [10]; in either case, the adult phenotype would produce a le ECA originating between the BT and the le ICA. e persistence of the entire third PAA on one side and the involution of the contralateral DC with the fourth PAA on both sides can result in the cervical aortic arch (CAA) with separate origins of the ECA and ICA from it [33,34]. Moncada et al [35] have described three theories of separate origins of the ECA and ICA stemming from the CAA; the first theory was based on the failure of the descent of the otherwise normal fourth PAA; the second theory was based on the incorporation of the third or second PAAs into the adult aortic arch, and involving of the second or first PAA into proximal part of the ICA; and the third theory was based on the fusion of the third and fourth PAAs on the involved side.…”

“…e separated le ECA and ICA originated from the le -sided cervical aortic arch (LCCA) in 2/34 cases [33,70] and from the right-sided cervical aortic arch (RCAA) also in 2/34 cases [71,72]; the right ECA and ICA originated from the RCAA ( Figure 6) in 14/41 cases [9,34,36,39,45,[73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81].…”

“…is trunk had a common origin with the le ECA only in one case [68]. However, it was the vascular source of the right ECA in 4/41 cases [14, LCAA: C +I+E+V+S+S [33] RCAA: B+V [71] RCAA: (C)+E +I +S + (S) [9] RCAA: (C+E )+I +S + (S) [77] RCAA: C+E +I +S + (S) [73,79] RCAA: (C)+E +I + (S ) [75] RCAA: C+E +I +S [34,36] RCAA: (C)+E +I +V +S +S [78] RCAA: LIA+I +E +S [80] [39, 74] F 6: Patterns of the branching of the ascending aorta, le -sided and right-sided cervical aortic arches, and descending aorta in cases of unilateral aplasia of the common carotid artery (CCA).

Cervical aortic arch and a new type of double aortic arch. Report of a case.

“…A review of world publications shows only 17 reported cases (Beavan and Fatti, 1947;Bender, Menges, and Shulze, 1964;Chang et al, 1971;Defrenne and Verney, 1968;De Jong and Klinkhamer, 1969;DuBrow et al, 1974;Gravier, Vialtel, and Pinet, 1959;Harley, 1959;Hastreiter, D'Cruz, and Cantez 1966;Mahoney and Manning, 1964;Massumi, Wiener, and Charif, 1963;Muflins, Gillete, and McNamara, 1973;Pitzus and Camoglio, 1974;Richie et al, 1972;Sheperd, Kerth, and Rosenthal, 1969;Shuford et al, 1972). Right-sided in the majority of instances, it has been found only as an isolated entity.…”
