[Diverticulum of the brachiocephalic trunk--angiographic image and embryologic significance].
A diverticulum of the brachiocephalic trunk is described in 5 children with unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery, in a child with tetralogy of Fallot, and in an other child with Bland-White-Garland syndrome. The diverticulum is a remnant of a contralateral ductus arteriosus, which cLosed after birth and represents the origin of the distal part of the sixth aortic arch.
