The proximal pulmonary artery is then connected to the hypoplastic aortic arch, while the coarcted segment of the aorta is repaired.
22.
They often involve large portions of the ascending and transverse aortic arch, the abdominal aorta, or less frequently the iliac arteries.
23.
An anatomical variation is that the left vertebral artery can arise from the aortic arch instead of the left subclavian artery.
24.
The left vagus nerve enters the thorax between left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery and descends on the aortic arch.
25.
The arterial system develops mainly from the aortic arches, six pairs of arches which develop on the upper part of the embryo.
26.
:During development of the aortic arch and the aortic arch arteries, the Notch receptors, ligands, and target genes display a unique expression pattern.

28.
2008 a study was done to test the effectiveness of MRI and FDG-PET tests to detect, diagnose, and measure inflammatory aortic arch syndrome.
29.
The aortic arch ends and the descending aorta begins at the level of the intervertebral disc between the fourth and fifth thoracic vertebrae.
30.
A newer procedure, endovascular angioplasty and stenting, threads a catheter up from the groin, around the aortic arch, and up the carotid artery.
