The purpose of this article is to review the normal anatomy of the aortic arch and the most common variations of congenital aortic arch anomalies using low-radiation-dose, defined as a dose-length product of 7 15 mgy cm, MDT angiography. ONLUSION. Radiologists should be prepared to fully describe congenital aortic arch anomalies; recognize them on T angiography, especially the presence or absence of vascular rings or aberrant arteries; and explain their association with the trachea and esophagus. nomalies in the developmental process of the aortic arch and its main branches can form vascular rings around the trachea and esophagus that may or may not be symptomatic depending on the location and degree of compression. The feasibility of surgical treatment established in 1945 [1] has made the early and accurate diagnosis of symptomatic patients vital for patient management [2]. T angiography (T), although causing concern regarding its use in pediatric patients because of ionizing radiation exposure [3], allows isotropic 3D reconstructions that assist surgeons in understanding complex anatomy for surgical planning, especially by describing the relationship between the aortic arch structures and the trachea and esophagus [4, 5]. This article illustrates the normal anatomy and most common anomalies of the aortic arch and its branches utilizing low-radiation-dose (doselength product = 7 15 mgy cm) T. Development of the ortic rch In normal embryonic morphogenesis, the aortic arch develops from five pairs of pharyngeal arch arteries with left-to-right symmetry. The mature configuration of the thoracic aorta and its branches is a result of a defined pattern of asymmetric regression and persistence of specific embryologic arch structures. Vascular rings are formed when this process does not occur normally and the resulting vasculature encircles the trachea and esophagus [6]. Normal development of the aortic arch involves the regression of the right ductus arteriosus, right dorsal aorta, and right aortic arch and the persistence of all vascular structures to the left of the trachea and esophagus (Figs. 1 and S1D [Fig. S1D can be viewed from the information box in the upper right corner of this article]). fter birth, the distal part of the left sixth aortic arch, which forms the ductus arteriosus, normally constricts to form the ligamentum arteriosum (also known as the ductal ligament ) [7]. To evaluate aortic arch anomalies, we perform non cardiac-gated T with a dualsource T scanner (Somatom Definition, Siemens Healthcare) using the following reconstruction parameters: collimation of 0.6 mm, slice thickness of 0.75 mm, reconstruction interval of 0.3 mm, tube power of 80 kv, contrast volume of 2 ml/kg of nonionic lowosmolar contrast material (300 mg I/mL iopromide [Ultravist, ayer-schering]), and kernel of b20f. Dose reduction was achieved by not using cardiac gating, which we find is not necessary to accurately assess the aortic arch and great vessels, and by using a lower tube power (80 kv) and automated tube current modulation (aredose, Siemens Healthcare). Data were transferred to a separate workstation for postprocessing and 3D reconstruction (quarius, TeraRecon). Developmental nomalies With a Left ortic rch left aortic arch with an aberrant (retroesophageal) right subclavian artery is the most common congenital aortic arch anomaly, occurring in approximately 1 in 200 individuals. ecause the right ductus arteriosus almost always disappears, this arch anomaly does not W466 JR:198, May 2012

For personal use only; all rights reserved create a true vascular ring and is not usually associated with symptomatic airway compression. However, symptoms may develop when extrinsic compression of the esophagus is caused by the retroesophageal trajectory of the aberrant right subclavian artery, which is commonly referred to as dysphagia lusoria [8] (Figs. 2 and S2E). The same anomaly, when accompanied by a persistent right ligamentum arteriosum, can create a true vascular ring leading to subtle airway compression. However, most affected patients have minimal symptoms and rarely require surgical treatment [9]. This defect may be associated with a right-sided descending aorta in which the distal arch courses posterior to the esophagus rather than the right subclavian artery. Developmental nomalies With a Right ortic rch right aortic arch is defined by the arch crossing over the right main bronchus. However, the descending aorta may run down either side of the spine. right aortic arch may result in a vascular ring depending on the branching pattern of the brachiocephalic vessels and the presence and location of a left-sided ligamentum arteriosum. Symptomatic vascular rings associated with right aortic arches are usually alleviated via transection of the ductus arteriosus or ligamentum arteriosum [4]. lthough the persistent ligamentum arteriosum cannot be seen directly via standard imaging, its presence can be inferred by an aortic diverticulum or a tethered appearance of the arch. Right ortic rch With Mirror-Image ranching right aortic arch with mirror-image branching is the second most common type of arch anomaly [6] and usually is associated with intracardiac defects (commonly tetralogy of Fallot or truncus arteriosus) and DiGeorge syndrome [10, 11] but does not usually result in a vascular ring. The brachiocephalic vessels originate from the arch in mirror-image fashion, with the left brachiocephalic artery as the first branch, followed by the right common carotid and subclavian arteries (Figs. 3 and S3D). If a right-sided ductus arteriosus persists, there is no concern for a vascular ring. When a leftsided ductus arteriosus is present, it usually originates from the brachiocephalic artery rather than from the descending aorta traveling anterior to the airway and esophagus and thus not creating a vascular ring. Rarely, a left-sided ductus arteriosus originates from the descending aorta or from an aortic diverticulum, courses posterior to the esophagus, and enters the distal main pulmonary artery to create a vascular ring [12] (Figs. 4 and S4). Right ortic rch With an berrant Left Subclavian rtery right aortic arch accompanied by an aberrant left subclavian artery and retroesophageal diverticulum results from the interruption of the left fourth aortic arch between the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery during development [6]. From the right aortic arch, the left common carotid arises as a first branch, followed by the right common carotid and subclavian arteries. The left subclavian artery is supplied by a diverticulum distal to the right subclavian artery that courses posterior to the esophagus, resulting in posterior esophageal compression (Figs. 5 and S5). The remnant of the left dorsal aortic root may appear as a pouch, which is known as Kommerell diverticulum [11]. The ring is completed by a left-sided ductus arteriosus (or ligamentum arteriosum) extending from the diverticulum to the proximal left pulmonary artery. The retroesophageal diverticulum is differentiated from a retroesophageal left subclavian artery without a diverticulum (described later in this article) by its caliber, which is usually similar to that of the aorta (Fig. 6). Rarely, a right aortic arch can be accompanied by an aberrant left subclavian in the absence of a retroesophageal diverticulum [11]. In contrast to patients with a retroesophageal diverticulum, the ductus arteriosus is absent, is right-sided, or originates from the left carotid. Therefore, a vascular ring is not created. However, symptoms may develop because of extrinsic compression of the esophagus by the retroesophageal trajectory of the aberrant left subclavian artery (Figs. 7 and S7D). This arch anatomy usually occurs in the presence of conotruncal abnormalities such as tetralogy of Fallot or truncus arteriosus [10]. Right ortic rch With a Left Descending orta right aortic arch with a left descending aorta and left ductus arteriosus or ligamentum arteriosum, also known as circumflex retroesophageal right aortic arch [13], has a presentation similar to right arches with retroesophageal diverticula but is much less common. In contrast to the previous two anomalies, the distal arch courses posterior to the esophagus and a left-sided ligamentum arteriosum from the descending aorta to the left pulmonary artery completes the vascular ring. This anomaly may also be accompanied by an aberrant left subclavian artery (Figs. 8 and S8). Like most vascular rings, relief may be provided by transection of the ligamentum arteriosum. However, patients with severe symptoms may require transection of the distal arch with mobilization of the retroesophageal portion and reanastomosis of the ascending and descending aorta left of the trachea. Right ortic rch With an berrant rachiocephalic rtery right aortic arch with an aberrant brachiocephalic artery is an uncommon anomaly that is similar to a right aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery and retroesophageal diverticulum [14]. ontrary to the general rule that the first arch vessel courses contralateral to the side of the arch, the first arch vessel in this anomaly is the right carotid, followed by the right subclavian artery and a retroesophageal brachiocephalic artery. Usually, the brachiocephalic artery originates from a diverticulum that also supplies a left-sided ductus or ligamentum arteriosum to the proximal left pulmonary artery, completing a vascular ring (Figs. 9 and S9D). Developmental nomalies With a Double ortic rch double aortic arch completely encircles the trachea and esophagus by connected segments of the arch and its branches (Fig. 10). oth arches may be patent, or a segment of one arch may be atretic, persisting as a ligamentous structure. cervical arch on either side, variable laterality of the descending thoracic aorta, coarctation of the major arch, or discontinuity of the central pulmonary arteries may also be present. More than 80% of patients with double aortic arch have a rightdominant system [15] (Figs. 11 and S11D), and the left arch is usually patent rather than atretic. When the minor arch is severely hypoplastic or atretic, the affected segment is almost always distal to the left subclavian artery (Figs. 12, S12, and 13), although it may also be found between the common carotid and subclavian arteries. In patients with a leftdominant system, the right arch is typically patent (Fig. 14). In symptomatic patients with JR:198, May 2012 W467

For personal use only; all rights reserved double aortic arch, surgical planning is directed toward transection of either the smallest arch (if both arches are patent) or an atretic arch segment [16]. onclusion The spectrum of aortic arch anomalies is diverse, and diagnostic imaging is needed to elucidate the complex vascular anatomy of patients with suspected aortic arch anomalies. Specifically, the relationship of the arch vessels with the aerodigestive tract, right or left dominance in patients with a double aortic arch, persistence of left or right ductus arteriosus or ligamentum arteriosum, and the presence of a retroesophageal diverticulum are important to describe because these factors are critical to surgical planning.
