Findings and procedure details
Based on chest-xray and specially on computer tomography and magnetic resonance,
we’ll describe most common variants of the aortic arch branching,
superior and inferior vena cava variants,
aberrant subclavian arteries as well as variants of pulmonary arteries,
pulmonary venous drainage,
azygous system,
arteriovenous malformations,
aortic coarctation,
lobar sequestration and others.
Additionally,
we’ll differentiate those who are indolent or non-relevant from those with clinical impact,
causing symptoms or increasing risk of complications in interventional procedures,
some of them requiring surgical treatment.
We prepared the following figures for a comprehensive pictorial review of most common variants and anomalies of thoracic vasculature,
based on 17 cases.
- Bovine Arch
- Isolated Vertebral Artery
- Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery
- Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery
- Aortic Coarctation
- Innominate Artery Compression Syndrome
- Pulmonary Artery Atresia
- Partial Anomalous Venous Return (1)
- Partial Anomalous Venous Return (2)
- Azygos Fissure
- Left Superior Intercostal Vein
- Left Superior Vena Cava
- Scimitar Syndrome
- Lobar Sequestration
- Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation - Simple
- Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation - Complex
