Isolated anomalous origin of the vertebral artery from the common carotid artery

William W Kesler et al. Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. .

Abstract

Anomalous origins of the vertebral arteries are uncommon and typically associated with other abnormalities of the great vessels. We present a case of an isolated origin of the right vertebral artery from the ipsilateral common carotid artery detected using magnetic resonance angiography. Such variants can significantly affect endovascular and surgical planning.
