“…we attributed her respiratory compromise to the vascular ring and hypertensive pulmonary arteries, since when the patient was initially evaluated, we were unaware of any report of bronchial compression in TA caused by a posteriorly displaced dilated ASAO that compressed the RPA and LMB against the DSAO. Bronchial compression/stenosis in patients with TA has rarely been reported [5,6,7,8,9,10]. Furthermore, those cases were autopsy reports without data from precise imaging modalities, such as bronchoscopy and chest CTA with clinical correlations, and only two of them discussed the possible cause [9, 10].…”
