Background: The association of double aortic arch and common arterial
trunk is extremely rare. The initial surgical approach depends on the
patient’s clinical condition and associated cardiac anomalies. Aim: To
report a rare association of common arterial trunk with double aortic
arch in a 4-month-old female infant. Methods: description of case of a
rare association where double aortic arch was not diagnosed initially,
surgical repair was done successfully. Results and conclusions:
associated cardiovascular anomalies may have an impact on management and
outcome. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography may be
useful in assessment of this rare association. Complete repair has
favorable outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
