2 Fig 1 (A) Angiogram of ascending aorta reveals that this trunk supplies only the coronary arteries. (B) Angiogram of descending aorta, having advanced the catheter through the arterial duct, shows retrograde filling of the brachiocephalic arteries. (C) Drawing showing the anatomy. The shaded area marks the aortic pouch. (*Left coronary artery; **right coronary artery; ***accessory infundibular branch arising from the right coronary sinus; AD = arterial duct; Ao arch = aortic arch; PT = pulmonary trunk.)
