Abnormally proximal aortic origin of the brachiocephalic artery: Surgical implications

Abnormal proximal aortic origin of the brachiocephalic artery is a very rare condition. It can occur in isolation or associated with complex congenital heart disease affecting the right ventricular outflow tract.
