Korean J Radiol. 2008 Jul;9 Suppl(Suppl):S39-42. doi: 10.3348/kjr.2008.9.s.s39.

Abstract

We present here two patients that had an aberrant right subclavian artery and an anomalous origin of the right vertebral artery from the right common carotid artery. We review the previous literature and discuss herein the embryologic mechanism and clinical implications of this variation.
