Computed tomography angiography (CTA) demonstrated a type C aortic arch interruption immediately after the brachiocephalic trunk, aortic coarctation with small-sized left subclavian and left carotid arteries and a huge-sized brachiocephalic trunk with a communication towards the left carotid artery (Figure 1).
