3. Figure 2
An axial thin maximum intensity projection multidetector computed tomographic image, showing a left bronchial artery (LBA) arising from the anterior portion of the descending aorta (DAo) and coursing along the left side of the esophagus (E). AAo = ascending aorta.

4. Figure 3
An oblique axial thin maximum intensity projection multidetector computed tomographic image, showing a left intercostal-bronchial trunk (ICBT) arising from the anteromedial portion of the descending aorta (DAo). The left bronchial artery (LBA) courses along left side of the esophagus (E) and dorsal to the left main bronchi (LB). ICA = intercostal artery.

5. Figure 4
An axial thin maximum intensity projection multidetector computed tomographic image, showing an intercostal-common bronchial trunk (IC-CBT) arising from the medial portion of the descending aorta (DAo). The right bronchial artery (RBA) courses along the right side of the esophagus (E) and dorsal to the trachea (T), and the left bronchial artery (LBA) courses along the left side of the esophagus (E) and dorsal to the trachea (T). ICA = intercostal artery.

7. Figure 6
(A, B) Oblique coronal thin maximum intensity projection and (C) volume rendering multidetector computed tomographic images, showing an ectopic right bronchial artery (E-RBA) arising from the right subclavian artery (RSA) and a common bronchial trunk (CBT) arising from descending aorta (DAo). AAo = ascending aorta; LBA = left bronchial artery; RBA = right bronchial artery. This figure is available in colour online at
