Right-sided aortic arch = The aortic arch passes posterior to the trachea Bovine arch = When the left common carotid artery arises from the brachiocephalic trunk Aberrant right subclavian artery = Also known as Lusoria artery Kommerell's diverticulum = Can cause fatal hemorrhage during endoscopy

Ductus arteriosus = Passes anterior to the esophagus Descending thoracic aorta = Passes anterior to the esophagus and trachea Left subclavian artery = Arises from the right aortic arch Right common carotid artery = Arises from the left aortic arch

Bovine arch = Anatomical variant of the aortic branching Kommerell's diverticulum = An aberrant outpouching of the aorta Lusoria artery = Another name for an aberrant right subclavian artery Aortic stenosis = A narrowing of the aorta

<p>Pulmonary embolism = Rare risk associated with aortic anomalies Fatal hemorrhage = Risk from Kommerell's diverticulum during endoscopy Myocardial infarction = Not directly related to vascular anomalies Portal venous hypertension = Not a common risk of aortic anomalies</p> Signup and view all the answers
