Isolated left vertebral artery and its consequences for aortic arch repair
A left vertebral artery (LVA) originating directly from the aortic arch is the second most common supra-aortic branching anomaly. This isolated LVA can also terminate in the posterior inferior cerebellar artery without contributing to the circle of ...

A complex abnormality of the circle of Willis. Case presentation [PDF]
Objective. We report a case of a patient with medium ACI stenosis and border zone infarct that occurred under normal hemodynamic conditions (normal BP, sinus rhythm), as normal supply mechanisms through the circle of Willis were absent.
