The Aortic Arches
Embryonic Blood Vessels
• By the beginning of the 4th week, an extensive network of
blood vessels is formed throughout the embryonic body
• The heart begins to beat on 21st or 22nd day, and blood
begins to circulate.
• This makes the CVS to be the first system in the body to
reach the functional state
• The embryonic heartbeat can be detected ultrasono-
graphically during the 5th week

Aortic Arches
Aortic Arches
• 1st arteries to appear is primitive aortae consist of
 a portion lying ventral to foregut( ventral aorta) ,
 an arched portion (1st aortic arch) , &
 dorsal portion lying dorsal to the gut ( dorsal aorta)
• The ventral aorta partially fuse to form aortic sac , unfused
part remaining as the right & left horn of aortic sac.
• The aortic arches arise from the aortic sac and terminate in
the dorsal aorta of the ipsilateral side
Aortic Arches
• Though six pairs of aortic arches usually develop
• All are not present at the same time
• By the time the sixth pair of aortic arches has formed,
the first two pairs disappear
• During the eighth week, the aortic arch pattern is
transformed to final fetal arterial arrangement
• In the region of aortic arches, the dorsal aortae remain
paired, but caudal to this region they fuse to form a
single median vessel
Changes in the original aortic arch system
Changes in the original aortic arch system
• Obliteration of:
 Most of the 1st & 2nd arches
 5th arches completely
 Distal part of the right sixth arch
 The segment of both dorsal aortae lying between the
3rd & 4th arches ( ductus caroticus )
 The segment of right aorta lying between the 7th
intersegmental artery & the fused dorsal aortae
Derivatives of Aortic Arches
First Pair
• Largely disappear
• Dorsal part persists as
the maxillary arteries
which supply the ear,
teeth and muscles of
the eyes and face
• May give rise to the
external carotid artery
The first arch is obliterated before
the 6th arch is formed
Second Pair
• Largely disappear
• Dorsal part persists
as the hyoid and
stapedial arteries
Third Pair
• Proximal part:
forms the
common carotid
arteries
• Distal part: joins
the dorsal aortae
to form the
internal carotid
arteries
Third Pair
• Each third arch artery
gives off a bud that
grows cranially to
form the External
carotid artery
Fifth Pair
• Disappears
completely
with NO
vascular
derivatives
The fate of 4 & 6th pairs of aortic
arches differs on the right and left side
Aortic sac
• Aortic sac & left
horn : becomes the
proximal segment
of the Aortic arch
• Right horn :
becomes the
Brachiocephalic
artery
Fourth Pair
• RIGHT: Becomes
the proximal part
of the right
subclavian artery
• LEFT: Forms part

Aortic Arch Anomalies
• Coarctation of aorta or constriction of aorta
• Double aortic arch
• Right arch of aorta
Coarctation of aorta
• Characterized by narrowing of aorta
• More common in males
• Classified as Preductal & Postductal types, but
mostly the constriction lies distal to the origin of
subclavian artery opposite the ductus arteriosus
(Juxtaductal )
Preductal
Preductal type
• Preductal type:
 Less common.
 The narrowing is proximal to the ductus
arteriosus.
 If severe, blood flow to the aorta distal to the
narrowing (supplying lower body) depends on a
patent ductus arteriosus, and hence its closure can
be life-threatening.
Postductal
Postductal
Postductal type
• Postductal type
 Most common.
 The narrowing is distal to the ductus arteriosus.
 The ductus usually remains open to communicate
pulmonary artery with the descending aorta
 Even with an open ductus arteriosus blood flow to the
lower body can be impaired.
 Allows development of collateral circulation during the
fetal period.
 It is associated with notching of the ribs, hypertension in
the upper extremities, and weak pulses in the lower
extremities.
Right Arch of Aorta
• Occurs when the
entire right aortic arch
persists &the segment
of left dorsal aorta
distal to the 7th
intersegmental artery
involutes
Double Arch of Aorta
• Usually the right arch
is larger and passes
posterior to the
esophagus
• The right common
carotid and subclavian
arteries arise
separately from right
arch
Double Arch of Aorta
• Characterized by a
vascular ring encircling
the trachea and
esophagus, usually
causing compression of
both structures.
• The degree of
compression varies
Thank you
The descending aorta.
• The main embryonic vessels are the paired
dorsal aortae, which receive blood from the
heart and distribute it to body tissues
• The dorsal aortae fuse caudally during the
fourth week, forming a single median vessel,
the descending aorta.
The descending aorta gives the following branches:
 Lateral segmental
 Ventral segmental
 Dorsal intersegmental
• The caudal end of the descending aorta becomes the
median sacral artery
Lateral Segmental Arteries
 Supply the:
 Diaphragm
 Kidneys
 Adrenal glands
 Gonads
 These vessels become
the phrenic, renal,
middle suprarenal, and
gonadal arteries of the
adult.
Ventral Segmental
Arteries:
 Supply the:
 Yolk sac (Vitelline
arteries)
 Allantois (Umbilical
arteries)
 Embryonic part of
placenta (Chorionic
arteries)
Vitelline arteries
• Supply the yolk sac and
the primitive gut
• Three major arteries
remain as the:
 Celiac trunk (artery of
foregut)
 Superior mesenteric
artery (artery of midgut)
 Inferior mesenteric
artery (artery of
hindgut).
Umbilical arteries
• Pass through the connecting
stalk in close association with
the allantois
• Become continuous with the
chorionic blood vessels.
• Carry poorly oxygented blood
to the placenta
• Derivatives:
 Proximal parts: persist as the
superior vesical arteries,
which supply the urinary
bladder
 Distal parts: obliterate after
birth and become the median
umbilical ligaments
Dorsal intersegmental arteries
 Somatic branches
 About thirty or
more pairs arise at
serial segmental
levels, run between
the somites
 Supply the body
wall, limbs, brain
and spinal cord.
Dorsal intersegmental arteries
• Derivatives:
 In cervical region: join to form the vertebral artery. The
7th pair contributes to the subclavian arteries.
 In thoracic region: become the posterior intercostal
arteries
 In abdominal region: become the lumbar arteries. The 5th
pair remains as the common iliac artery
 In sacral region: form the lateral sacral arteries
Development of veins
Vitelline veins return
poorly oxygenated blood
from yolk sac to the
sinus venosus of heart.
Umbilical veins carry
well-oxygenated blood
from primordial placenta
to sinus venosus.
Common cardinal veins
carry poorly oxygenated
blood from body of
embryo to sinus venosus
Vitelline Veins
Vitelline Veins
 Lie in the yolk stalk, they carry poorly oxygenated blood
from yolk sac to sinus venosus passing through septum
transversum.
 In the region of developing liver in septum transversum,
hepatic sinusoids develop from vitelline veins,
 Hepatic veins develop from remains of right vetilline vein.
 Proximal part of right vitelline vein form hepatic part of
I.V.C. Proximal left vitelline vein degenerates .
 Portal vein develops from an anastomotic network of distal
parts of right & left vitelline veins around the duodenum.
Umbilical Veins
Umbilical Veins
 They carry well-oxygenate blood from placenta to sinus
venosus.
 As the liver develops, umbilical veins lose their connection
with heart.
 Right umbilical vein disappears completely.
 Proximal (cranial) part of left umbilical vein between
liver & sinus venosus degenerates.
 Distal (caudal) part of left umbilical vein persist and
connected with I.V.C through a large venous shunt- ductus
venosus , so blood pass directly from placenta to heart.
Umbilical Veins
• When the portal vein develops the ductus venosus
connects the left branch of portal vein to hepatic
portion of IVC.
• Left umbilical vein connects with the left branch of
the portal vein inside the liver.
• After birth the left umbilical vein and ductus
venosus are obliterated and form the ligamentum
teres hepatis and ligamentum venosum ,
respectively .
Cardinal veins
Cardinal veins constitute the main venous drainage
of the embryo.
Anterior & posterior cardinal veins drain cranial &
caudal parts of embryo ,respectively.
4th week, anterior & posterior cardinal veins join the
common cardinal veins, which enter sinus venosus
Anterior cardinal veins
Anterior cardinal veins
Anterior cardinal veins
 The anterior cardinal veins are joined by subclavian vein(
drains the fore limb).
 Proximal to subclavian vein , rt & lt ant. Cardinal veins are
interconnected by transverse anastomosis.
 SVC  derived from
• right common cardinal vein
• Right ant. Cardinal vein( distal to transverse anastomosis )
 Right brachiocephalic vein – Right ant. Cardinal
vein(proximal to transverse anastomosis )
Anterior cardinal veins
 left brachiocephalic vein derived from
• the transverse anastomosis shunt between anterior cardinal
veins
• left anterior cardinal vein ( proximal to transverse
anastomosis ) caudal part of left anterior cardinal vein
degenerates.
 Internal jugular veins develop from the part of anterior
cardinal veins cranial to their junction with the subclavian
vein .
Posterior cardinal veins
Posterior cardinal veins
• During the fifth to the seventh week a number of additional
veins are formed:
• (a) the subcardinal veins, which mainly drain the kidneys;
• (b) the supracardinal veins, which drain the body wall by
way of the intercostal veins, taking over the functions of the
posterior cardinal veins
• (c) the sacrocardinal veins, which drain the lower
extremities;
Posterior cardinal veins
• Formation of the vena cava system is characterized
by the appearance of anastomoses between left and
right in such a manner that the blood from the left is
channeled to the right side.
• As a result, right veins enlarge while left veins
become small and may disappear.
Fate of Subcardinal veins
Fate of Subcardinal veins
 Left subcardinal vein cranial to the anastomosis disappears
leaving small left suprarenal vein, while caudal to
anastomosis it becomes left gonadal vein.
 Right subcardinal vein cranial to the anastomosis forms the
pre-renal part of I.V.C. + right suprarenal vein, while caudal
to the anastomosis it develops into right gonadal vein.
 Right & left subcardinal vein anastomosis forms left renal
veins + renal part of I.V.C.
Fate of Supracardinal veins
Fate of Supracardinal veins
The middle part of the 2 veins in the region of
kidney disappears.
• The 4th to 11th right intercostal veins empty into
the right supracardinal vein, which together with a
portion of the posterior cardinal vein forms the
azygos vein
• On the left the 4th to 7th intercostal veins enter
into the left supracardinal vein, and the left
supracardinal vein, then known as the hemiazygos
vein .
Development of I.V.C & Azygos vein
Fate of sacrocardinal veins
• The anastomosis between the sacrocardinal veins
forms the left common iliac vein .
• Caudal part of right sacrocardinal vein veins form
the right common iliac vein .
• The cranial right sacrocardinal vein becomes the
sacrocardinal segment of the inferior vena cava
• The inferior vena cava, consisting of hepatic, renal,
and sacrocardinal segments, is complete.
Development of I.V.C
Hepatic part : develops from hepatic vein
(from proximal part of right vitelline vein) + hepatic
sinusoids.
Pre-renal part : develops from right subcardinal
vein.
Renal part : develops from Right & left subcardinal
vein anastomosis
Sacrocardinal part : develops from right
sacrocardinal vein above the anastomosis.

Atrial Septal defects (ASD)
• There are 4 types of clinically significant types
of ASD :
• 1-Ostium secundum defect. ( excessive resorption of the
septum primum )
• 2-Endocardial cushion defect. (with ostium primum defect ,
failure of development of S. secundum)
• 3- Patent oval foramen
• 4-Common atrium…. Rare cardiac defect ,in which the interatrial
septum is absent due to failure of septum primum & septum secundum
to develop.
Cvs dev
Atrial Septal defects (ASD)
• Ostium secundum defect – most common type of ASD
• Infant & children are usually asymptomatic.
• Patient is thin built.
• Spontaneous closure of secundum defect have occurs in
40%of patient in first 4 year of life.
• The most serious abnormality in this group is complete
absence of the atrial septum . This condition, known as
common atrium .
Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs)
Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs):
Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs):
Membranous VSD …. Is the most common
type.
Results from incomplete closure of IV foramen
due to failure of development of memb. part of
IV septum.
Large VSDs with excessive pulmonary blood
flow & pulm.hypertension result in dyspnea
(difficult breathing) + heart failure.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
• Before birth, the aorta and the pulmonary artery are
normally connected by a blood vessel called the
ductus arteriosus, which is an essential part of the
fetal circulation.
• In some babies, the ductus arteriosus remains open
(patent) , after birth .
• This allows blood to flow directly from the aorta
into the pulmonary artery, which can put a strain on
the heart and increase pressure in the pulmonary
circulation .
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
• Pt may become symtomatic in early life.
• Neonates develop congestive cardiac failure
(CCF) around 6 – 10 week of life .
• Older children develop palpitation and
frequent chest infection .
Tetralogy of Fallot
Tetralogy of Fallot
It contains 4 cardiac defects :
1- Pulmonary stenosis (obstruction of right ventricular
outflow).
2- Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD).
3- Dextroposition of aorta (overriding aorta).
4- Right ventricular hypertrophy.
 cyanosis is one of the obvious signs of tetralogy .
Tetralogy of Fallot
• Pt of TOF may become symtomatic any time after
birth .
• Commenest symptom- dyspnea on exertion&
exercise intolerance.
• Anoxic spells (paroxysmal attacks of dyspnea )
• Cyanosis present at birth or appear some year
after birth.
• X-Ray – oligemic lung field , Cor- en – sabot
appearance
Trilogy of Fallot
• Pulmonary Stenosis
• ASD
• Right ventricular hypertrophy
Pink fallot’s
• V.S.D
• Mild Pulmonary stenosis

  • 42. The descending aorta. • The main embryonic vessels are the paired dorsal aortae, which receive blood from the heart and distribute it to body tissues • The dorsal aortae fuse caudally during the fourth week, forming a single median vessel, the descending aorta.
  • 43. The descending aorta gives the following branches:  Lateral segmental  Ventral segmental  Dorsal intersegmental • The caudal end of the descending aorta becomes the median sacral artery
  • 44. Lateral Segmental Arteries  Supply the:  Diaphragm  Kidneys  Adrenal glands  Gonads  These vessels become the phrenic, renal, middle suprarenal, and gonadal arteries of the adult.
  • 45. Ventral Segmental Arteries:  Supply the:  Yolk sac (Vitelline arteries)  Allantois (Umbilical arteries)  Embryonic part of placenta (Chorionic arteries)
  • 46. Vitelline arteries • Supply the yolk sac and the primitive gut • Three major arteries remain as the:  Celiac trunk (artery of foregut)  Superior mesenteric artery (artery of midgut)  Inferior mesenteric artery (artery of hindgut).
  • 47. Umbilical arteries • Pass through the connecting stalk in close association with the allantois • Become continuous with the chorionic blood vessels. • Carry poorly oxygented blood to the placenta • Derivatives:  Proximal parts: persist as the superior vesical arteries, which supply the urinary bladder  Distal parts: obliterate after birth and become the median umbilical ligaments
  • 48. Dorsal intersegmental arteries  Somatic branches  About thirty or more pairs arise at serial segmental levels, run between the somites  Supply the body wall, limbs, brain and spinal cord.
  • 49. Dorsal intersegmental arteries • Derivatives:  In cervical region: join to form the vertebral artery. The 7th pair contributes to the subclavian arteries.  In thoracic region: become the posterior intercostal arteries  In abdominal region: become the lumbar arteries. The 5th pair remains as the common iliac artery  In sacral region: form the lateral sacral arteries
  • 50. Development of veins Vitelline veins return poorly oxygenated blood from yolk sac to the sinus venosus of heart. Umbilical veins carry well-oxygenated blood from primordial placenta to sinus venosus. Common cardinal veins carry poorly oxygenated blood from body of embryo to sinus venosus
  • 52. Vitelline Veins  Lie in the yolk stalk, they carry poorly oxygenated blood from yolk sac to sinus venosus passing through septum transversum.  In the region of developing liver in septum transversum, hepatic sinusoids develop from vitelline veins,  Hepatic veins develop from remains of right vetilline vein.  Proximal part of right vitelline vein form hepatic part of I.V.C. Proximal left vitelline vein degenerates .  Portal vein develops from an anastomotic network of distal parts of right & left vitelline veins around the duodenum.
  • 54. Umbilical Veins  They carry well-oxygenate blood from placenta to sinus venosus.  As the liver develops, umbilical veins lose their connection with heart.  Right umbilical vein disappears completely.  Proximal (cranial) part of left umbilical vein between liver & sinus venosus degenerates.  Distal (caudal) part of left umbilical vein persist and connected with I.V.C through a large venous shunt- ductus venosus , so blood pass directly from placenta to heart.
  • 55. Umbilical Veins • When the portal vein develops the ductus venosus connects the left branch of portal vein to hepatic portion of IVC. • Left umbilical vein connects with the left branch of the portal vein inside the liver. • After birth the left umbilical vein and ductus venosus are obliterated and form the ligamentum teres hepatis and ligamentum venosum , respectively .
  • 56. Cardinal veins Cardinal veins constitute the main venous drainage of the embryo. Anterior & posterior cardinal veins drain cranial & caudal parts of embryo ,respectively. 4th week, anterior & posterior cardinal veins join the common cardinal veins, which enter sinus venosus
  • 59. Anterior cardinal veins  The anterior cardinal veins are joined by subclavian vein( drains the fore limb).  Proximal to subclavian vein , rt & lt ant. Cardinal veins are interconnected by transverse anastomosis.  SVC  derived from • right common cardinal vein • Right ant. Cardinal vein( distal to transverse anastomosis )  Right brachiocephalic vein – Right ant. Cardinal vein(proximal to transverse anastomosis )
  • 60. Anterior cardinal veins  left brachiocephalic vein derived from • the transverse anastomosis shunt between anterior cardinal veins • left anterior cardinal vein ( proximal to transverse anastomosis ) caudal part of left anterior cardinal vein degenerates.  Internal jugular veins develop from the part of anterior cardinal veins cranial to their junction with the subclavian vein .
  • 62. Posterior cardinal veins • During the fifth to the seventh week a number of additional veins are formed: • (a) the subcardinal veins, which mainly drain the kidneys; • (b) the supracardinal veins, which drain the body wall by way of the intercostal veins, taking over the functions of the posterior cardinal veins • (c) the sacrocardinal veins, which drain the lower extremities;
  • 63. Posterior cardinal veins • Formation of the vena cava system is characterized by the appearance of anastomoses between left and right in such a manner that the blood from the left is channeled to the right side. • As a result, right veins enlarge while left veins become small and may disappear.
  • 65. Fate of Subcardinal veins  Left subcardinal vein cranial to the anastomosis disappears leaving small left suprarenal vein, while caudal to anastomosis it becomes left gonadal vein.  Right subcardinal vein cranial to the anastomosis forms the pre-renal part of I.V.C. + right suprarenal vein, while caudal to the anastomosis it develops into right gonadal vein.  Right & left subcardinal vein anastomosis forms left renal veins + renal part of I.V.C.
  • 67. Fate of Supracardinal veins The middle part of the 2 veins in the region of kidney disappears. • The 4th to 11th right intercostal veins empty into the right supracardinal vein, which together with a portion of the posterior cardinal vein forms the azygos vein • On the left the 4th to 7th intercostal veins enter into the left supracardinal vein, and the left supracardinal vein, then known as the hemiazygos vein .
  • 68. Development of I.V.C & Azygos vein
  • 69. Fate of sacrocardinal veins • The anastomosis between the sacrocardinal veins forms the left common iliac vein . • Caudal part of right sacrocardinal vein veins form the right common iliac vein . • The cranial right sacrocardinal vein becomes the sacrocardinal segment of the inferior vena cava • The inferior vena cava, consisting of hepatic, renal, and sacrocardinal segments, is complete.
  • 70. Development of I.V.C Hepatic part : develops from hepatic vein (from proximal part of right vitelline vein) + hepatic sinusoids. Pre-renal part : develops from right subcardinal vein. Renal part : develops from Right & left subcardinal vein anastomosis Sacrocardinal part : develops from right sacrocardinal vein above the anastomosis.

  • 73. Atrial Septal defects (ASD) • There are 4 types of clinically significant types of ASD : • 1-Ostium secundum defect. ( excessive resorption of the septum primum ) • 2-Endocardial cushion defect. (with ostium primum defect , failure of development of S. secundum) • 3- Patent oval foramen • 4-Common atrium…. Rare cardiac defect ,in which the interatrial septum is absent due to failure of septum primum & septum secundum to develop.
  • 75. Atrial Septal defects (ASD) • Ostium secundum defect – most common type of ASD • Infant & children are usually asymptomatic. • Patient is thin built. • Spontaneous closure of secundum defect have occurs in 40%of patient in first 4 year of life. • The most serious abnormality in this group is complete absence of the atrial septum . This condition, known as common atrium .
  • 78. Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs): Membranous VSD …. Is the most common type. Results from incomplete closure of IV foramen due to failure of development of memb. part of IV septum. Large VSDs with excessive pulmonary blood flow & pulm.hypertension result in dyspnea (difficult breathing) + heart failure.
  • 80. Patent Ductus Arteriosus • Before birth, the aorta and the pulmonary artery are normally connected by a blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus, which is an essential part of the fetal circulation. • In some babies, the ductus arteriosus remains open (patent) , after birth . • This allows blood to flow directly from the aorta into the pulmonary artery, which can put a strain on the heart and increase pressure in the pulmonary circulation .
  • 81. Patent Ductus Arteriosus • Pt may become symtomatic in early life. • Neonates develop congestive cardiac failure (CCF) around 6 – 10 week of life . • Older children develop palpitation and frequent chest infection .
  • 83. Tetralogy of Fallot It contains 4 cardiac defects : 1- Pulmonary stenosis (obstruction of right ventricular outflow). 2- Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD). 3- Dextroposition of aorta (overriding aorta). 4- Right ventricular hypertrophy.  cyanosis is one of the obvious signs of tetralogy .
  • 84. Tetralogy of Fallot • Pt of TOF may become symtomatic any time after birth . • Commenest symptom- dyspnea on exertion& exercise intolerance. • Anoxic spells (paroxysmal attacks of dyspnea ) • Cyanosis present at birth or appear some year after birth. • X-Ray – oligemic lung field , Cor- en – sabot appearance
