ABSTRACT
Understanding and recognizing anatomic anomalies of the aortic arch is important when planning extra-anatomic debranching before thoracic endovascular aortic repair. A rare anomaly is the left vertebral artery aberrantly arising from the aortic arch; found in â¼5% of adults. When present, the artery courses through the carotid sheath at a variable length before entering the third or fourth cervical transverse foramen. In the present report, we have described the case of a 49-year-old man with a symptomatic, enlarging type B aortic dissection with an aberrant left vertebral artery and the novel methods used to surgically correct his pathology.
