“…Variations in the branching pattern of the aortic arch range from differences in the distance between origins of different branches to several branches. 4 The present study aimed to study the branching pattern of the aorta arch and identify any variation in the branching pattern. It also aimed to measure the distance of each branch from the median plane and measure the diameter of each branch at the site of origin.…”

Knowledge of the aortic arch branching pattern is important during supra-aortic angiography, aortic instrumentation, thoracic and neck surgery. The aortic arch (AA) is located in the superior mediastinum. In 65–80% of the cases, the three branches arise from the aortic arch, namely, the brachiocephalic trunk (BCT), the left common carotid artery (LCCA), and the left subclavian artery (LSA). The purpose of this study is to describe different branching patterns of the arch of the aorta in Indian subjects. This observational study is based on dissection performed on Sixty embalmed arches of the aorta in adult Indian cadavers (in manuscript it was written as, 20 dissected heart specimens were collected of still-born fetuses) were exposed and their branches examined during cadaveric dissection in the department of Anatomy. The anatomical variations of the arch of the aorta and its branches, its branches at site of origin, and the distance of each branch from the point of origin to the median plane were measured. The usual three-branched pattern of arch of aorta was found in 44 specimens (73.33%). The common trunk for both brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid artery was present in 11 specimens (18.33%). In 2 specimens (3.33%), the arch gives four branches. In 1 specimen (1.67%), give three branches. The wide spectrum of variations in the anatomical arrangement of the human aortic arch and its branches offer valuable information to catheterize the aortic arch and its branches for safely performing endovascular surgery. These anatomical and morphologic variations in the arch of the aorta and its branches are significant for diagnostic and surgical procedures in the thorax, head and neck regions.
