Deskripsi

The right vertebral artery most commonly originates as the first branch of the right subclavian artery. Although anatomical variants of the aortic arch are commonly encountered on cross-sectional imaging, certain variants of the right vertebral artery are exceedingly rare. In this report, we present 3 cases of aberrant right vertebral artery arising as the last branch of the aortic arch, a very rare variant.
