Development of the aorta takes place during the third week of gestation. It is a complex
process that can lead to a variety of congenital variants and pathological anomalies. In
diagnostic and interventional radiology, knowledge of aortic abnormalities and variant
branching sequence is crucially important. This article gives a systematic overview of
anatomical variability of the aorta.
