The circle of Willis is a part of the cerebral circulation and is composed of the following arteries: [3] Anterior cerebral artery (left and right) at their A1 segments; Anterior communicating artery; Internal carotid artery (left and right) at its distal tip (carotid terminus) Posterior cerebral artery (left and right) at their P1 segments

Circle of Willis (in the brain) Coronary: anterior interventricular artery and posterior interventricular artery of the heart; Scapular anastomosis (for the subclavian vessels) Joint anastomoses: Almost all joints receive anastomotic blood supply from more than one source. Shoulder (and circumflex humeral) Elbow (see blood supply of elbow)
The anterolateral central arteries or lenticulostriate arteries [3] (also anterolateral perforating arteries, anterolateral ganglionic arteries, striate arteries, or lateral striate arteries; latin aa. centrales anterolaterales, [4] or aa. lenticulostriatae [4]) are a group of small arteries mostly arising from (the initial M1 part of) the middle cerebral artery that enter the brain through ...
An aortic aneurysm is when part of the main blood vessel carrying blood away from your heart bulges outward. ... opening up a narrowed artery in your heart with a thin tube called a catheter that ...
In case of narrowing of other arteries of the circle of Willis or the arteries supplying the circle, the anterior communicating artery can provide a way to supply blood to the opposite (affected) side of the circle. This can often preserve the cerebral blood supply well enough to avoid the symptoms of ischemia. [7]
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a group of techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to image blood vessels. Magnetic resonance angiography is used to generate images of arteries (and less commonly veins) in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing), occlusions, aneurysms (vessel wall dilatations, at risk of rupture) or other abnormalities.
