The left superior bronchial artery arising from the medial aortic arch is also prominent without focal aneurysmal dilatation. The pulmonary arteries are unremarkable and there is no pulmonary embolism identified. No pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
Atheromatous calcification of the aortic arch and mural thickening of the proximal left subclavian artery.
