1 Atherosclerotic aneurysm in the circumflex retroesophageal right aortic arch 
Ryuji Tominaga, MD, Takahiro Nishida, MD, Shigeki Morita, MD, Munetaka Masuda, MD, Hisataka Yasui, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 71, Issue 6, Pages (June 2001) DOI: /S (00)

2 Fig 1 Preoperative computed tomographic scan showing a circumflex retroesophageal aortic arch, which displaces both the trachea and esophagus anteriorly from the vertebral body. Aneurysmal dilatation of the distal portion of aortic arch is also demonstrated. A small arrow indicates the left common carotid artery arising from the ascending aorta. (T = trachea; E = esophagus; A = aneurysm.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

3 Fig 2 (A) Three-dimensional computed tomographic reconstruction of thoracic aorta. The left common carotid artery (LCA) is shown to be the first brachiocephalic vessel arising from the aorta (arrow). (B) Schematic drawing of operative findings. The origin of the aberrant subclavian artery (aLSA) shows mild aneurysmal dilatation. (A = aneurysm; Ao = aorta; E = esophagus; PA = pulmonary artery; RCA = right common carotid artery; RSA = right subclavian artery; T = trachea.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (00) )
