Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Surgery with Bovine Aortic Arch

Abstract

The most common presentation in aortic arch anatomy and therefore normal evaluation is the form in which the left common carotid artery is isolated from the arcus aorta. A variant of the aortic arch, where the left common carotid artery arises from the brachiocephalic artery or from a common root with the brachiocephalic artery, is called the bovine aortic arch. Awareness of aortic arch variants in daily practice is very important for interventional clinicians. In our article, it is aimed to emphasize the literature review and surgical importance of this variant by means of different aneurysm operations performed in our clinic.
