Figure 1:
A and B:Case1, CTA revealed a type A interrupted aortic arch with complete discontinuity of the aortic lumen distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery
C and D:Case 2, angiography showed absence of anatomical continuity between the ascending aorta distal to the left subclavian artery and the descending aorta.
E and F:Case 3, angiography showed absence of anatomical continuity between the ascending aorta distal to the left subclavian artery and the descending aorta.
