To describe and illustrate the pre- and posttherapy MDCTA and MRA imaging findings of congenital and acquired aortic arch diseases. To detail MDCTA and MRA imaging strategies for the repaired aortic arch. To explain the surgical and endovascular approaches of the congenital and acquired condition involving the aortic arch, including procedures involving the ascending and descending aorta and the supra-aortic trunks. To display possible complications after surgical and endovascular aortic arch repair.

1.Description of CTA and MRA imaging advantages and disadvantages for the evaluation of the repaired aortic arch. 2.Spectrum of congenital (vascular rings,aortic hypoplasia,aortic coarctation,interrupted aortic arch) and acquired diseases (atherosclerotic, inflammatory and post-dissection aneurysms, type A dissections,penetrating ulcers) that often require surgical and endovascular interventions. 3.Descripition and review of the imaging findings of surgical and endovascular techniques.TEVAR, hybrid surgeries, elephant trunk procedure and its variants,"arch first" technique,surgical reimplantation techniques and stenting of the supra-aortic vessels. 4.Post-treatment normal aspects and complications of surgical and endovascular approaches. 5.Final considerations
