Variation in the Branches of the Arch of the Aorta in Patients Undergoing Contrast Enhanced Multidetector Computed Tomography in a Tertiary Center

Abstract

Background: The aortic arch (AA) branching pattern variations are usually asymptomatic, but they may lead to complications during cardiovascular procedures. Variations in the branching pattern of the Arch of Aorta (AoA) are common in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography, the identification of which is crucial in managing patients undergoing 
cardiovascular/neck surgeries and interventions.
