• Aortic-annulus anomalies, anomalous arch, anomalous branches and vascular loops can present with various vascular and non- vascular symptoms causing significant morbidity. • Obstructive aortic anomalies can lead to differential blood pressure, cyanosis and even sudden cardiac compromise. • MDCTA with optimised imaging technique and radiation dose reduction is one of the most important diagnostic modality giving 3D visualization of abnormal anatomy. • Proper knowledge about anomalies, imaging technique and what a surgeon needs from a radiologist can improve the outcome.  

• Embryological development of aorta • Optimised CTA technique for evaluation of major thoracic vasculature • Anomalies of aortic annulus and ascending aorta • Obstructive aortic anomalies • Aortic arch anomalies • Anomalous arch branches • Vascular loops • What to look beyond aorta…?
