The variations of the vertebral artery (VA) are very diverse in its origin and course. Particularly, the origin of the VA from the part of the aortic arch, distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery (SCA), is very rare. We experienced two cases of this variation. Herein, we describe the two cases and review the relative previous reports, which described this variation. We review the embryologic background and the clinical implication of this variation.
