Anatomical Assessment of the Aortic Arch: Relationship between Arch Anatomy and Age Sinan Jabori, J.P. Finn MD, Steven Farley MD, R.S. Saleh MD, Wesley S. Moore MD, Peter F. Lawrence MD, Brian G. DeRubertis MD 2 Type I: 58% Type II:24% This arch elongation and the broadness of the arch can be quantified by placing an asculating circle over the region of maximum curvature, then calculating the radius of this curvature. 3 Strong correlation between age and aortic arch ROC (R2=0.60, p<0.0001) 4 ASC.

Type I was most common, occurring in 58% of patients, while type III occurred in only 18%.
