Abstract :

Knowledge of course and anching pattern of major arteries is very important for the vascular surgeons , for various invasive & noninvasive procedures. This study was carried over a span of three years on 30 human cadavers in the department of anatomy. Dissection was done in all the cadavers according to the steps of the cunnigham’s manual , the anching pattern of the arch of aorta and variations are noted. In our study we observed anamolous anching pattern of arch of aorta in thorax. 29 out of 30 cadavers showed 3 anches arising directly from the Arch of aorta(AA) – normal pattern. In one (1) case, there were 4 anches arising from the arch of aorta. The anches were achiocephalic trunk, Left common carotid, Left verteal artery and Left subclavian artery. Left verteal artery, originated directly from the arch of aorta between the left common carotid and left subclavian arteries.
