    Author: Cheng M, Xiaodong X, Wang C, You C, Mao B, He M, Zhang C.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2009; 23(5):689.e1-5. PubMed ID: 19747615.
    Abstract:
    In this article, we present four cases of rare anomalous aortic arch and vertebral arteries and discuss the possible embryologic etiologies. These include two cases in which the right vertebral artery originated from the right common carotid artery associated with an aberrant right subclavian artery originating from the middle of the aortic arch and two cases in which the left vertebral artery had a double origin from the left subclavian artery and aortic arch.
