This is hard to answer with the way you ask. We have tha aorta coming out of the heart, then the brachiocephalic, left common carotic, and right subclavian artery coming off that. If you are asking which is at top, well that's still hard to answer, but I would say the brachiocephalic. That splits into the right subclavian and right common carotid arery.
