摘要
The present paper describes a 53-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with a history of sudden chest pain followed by unconsciousness at home. The autopsy revealed the left vertebral artery (LVA)'s aberrant origin from the aortic arch between the left common carotid artery and subclavian artery in a male deceased during a medicolegal autopsy. The aortic origin of the vertebral artery is an unusual branching pattern. Knowledge about the vertebral artery's normal and variant arterial anatomy is essential for patients who undergo various surgical or interventional procedures. In the sudden death of cardiac origin, its anatomy and morphology also hold crucial value. Typically, the LVA arises from the first part of the left subclavian artery (LSA).
