Figure 3From: Multidetector-row computed tomography of thoracic aortic anomalies in dogs and cats: Patent ductus arteriosus and vascular ringsPersistent right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery and bicarotid trunk in a German pinscher. Left lateral (A) and dorsoventral volume (B) volume-rendered 3-dimensional MDCT images. Volume-rendered images show an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) with mild dilation at its origin. The bicarotid trunk arises as the first branch from the aortic arch, which is followed by the right subclavian artery (RSA) and the ALSA, which arises from the proximal part of the descending aorta. LCA = left carotid artery, RCA = right carotid artery.Back to article page
