1 Potential Clinical Implications of the “Aortic Collar” Configuration of an Anomalous Left Brachiocephalic Vein  Amir Awwad, MBBCh, MRCS, Yutaro Higashi, MRCS, FRCR, Maruti Kumaran, MB, FRCR  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 98, Issue 6, Pages e147-e149 (December 2014) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2014 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 (A–C) Triggered computed tomographic pulmonary angiography through a contrast injection into the left arm. Starting at (A) the thoracic inlet, the axial slices demonstrate the enhanced left brachiocephalic collar configuration with (B) branching and (C) subsequent reforming above the azygous orifice of the superior vena cava (SVC). (A = aorta; Aa = ascending aorta; B = brachiocephalic vein; B1 = supraaortic branch; B2 = subaortic branch; C = azygous orifice, Da = descending aorta.)

3 Fig 2 Three-dimensional reconstruction with vascular segmentation of the central vasculature demonstrating the anomalous relationship of the vein and the aortic arch and pulmonary artery (PA). (A) Anterior view and (B) posterior view. (A = aorta; Aa = ascending aorta; B = brachiocephalic vein; B1 = supraaortic branch; B2 = subaortic branch; Da = descending aorta; PA = pulmonary artery; SVC = superior vena cava.)
