Aortic A-B-C-s
from Mortuary Mnemonics · host Damon de la Cruz
“ABCs of the Aortic Arch.” A is for Aortic Arch – the main curve of theaorta. From there, the branches go in this order: B – Brachiocephalic artery C – Left Common carotid artery S – Left Subclavian artery Think: A – B – C – S. Quick tip: the brachiocephalic only comes off the rightside—so it later splits into the right subclavian and right commoncarotid. The left side gets its own direct branches.
