Abstract

The origin of the bronchial arteries is very variable. An exceptional case is reported of a common bronchial arterial trunk arising from a left subclavian artery discovered incidentally during angiography in a patient without any pulmonary disease. An embryologic explanation is proposed for this anatomic variant.
