Variations of the bronchial arteries. Bronchial arteries may have a great variability in terms of number. The most common patterns are two left and one right bronchial artery (type 1, most common), one artery in each side (type 2), two right and two left bronchial arteries (type 3), and two right and one left bronchial artery (type 4). Usually, the right bronchial artery originates from an intercostal-bronchial trunk (ICBT).
