Excerpt

The term "bovine aortic arch" is widely used to describe a common anatomic variant of the human aortic arch branching, regarding the common origin of the brachiocephalic and left common carotid artery from the aorta. This anatomy pattern is not generally found in the cattles and the term "bovine aortic arch" is a common misnomer in the medical literature. Nevertheless we use this term all the time we deal with this kind of arch anatomy. True incidence is not really known and it's not clear if an incidental correlation exists between this arch anomaly and bicuspid aortic valve with ascending aorta aneurysms or if an anatomic predisposition identifies a sort of syndrome involving the left ventricular outflow tract. …
