Brief Summary
The aortic arch with a common origin of the innominate and left carotid artery (CILCA) prevalence in the general population is 13.6%. Its reputation as a benign anatomical variant has been ultimately shattered by further studies that identified the CILCA arch as a potential marker for thoracic aortic disease (TAD) The aim of this work is to report the CT anatomical characteristics of the aortic arch in subjects with or without aneurysms requiring treatment, in 5 major European cardiovascular centers.
