“…The synchronous presence of PCoA with the cervical aortic arch, 26,36,39 a high aortic arch, 24,29,31 or a double aortic arch 40 has been reported. For instance, Lavin et al 1 reported a case with PCoA and a true coarctation of the descending aorta.…”

“…For instance, Lavin et al 1 reported a case with PCoA and a true coarctation of the descending aorta. The localizations of the kinking have been described as proximal to the left SCA, 1,19,23,24 at the level of ligamentum arteriosum, 21 at the level of the left SCA, 26 and distal to the left SCA. 5,7,14-17,20,27,30,31…”

“…In our review, an aneurysm with a funnel-shaped widening at the proximal segment of the SCA, similar to our presented case, was present in 7 of the 12 cases with a synchronous PCoA and subclavian aneurysm. 1,10,26,27,29,31,32 Despite having an appearance similar to an aortic diverticulum, the location and course of these aneurysms do not match with the typical presentation sides described by Salomonowitz et al 41 A case reported by Guhathakurta et al 10 demonstrated the natural course of the funnel-shaped subclavian aneurysm in a patient with PCoA. In their case, a mild dilatation of the left SCA was diagnosed and after 13 years, it progressed to a large dissecting aneurysm.…”

Here we present a 47-year-old male diagnosed with a pseudocoarctation of the aorta and a funnel-like subclavian artery aneurysm with a large orifice and severe aortic valve insufficiency. The patient underwent a two-stage repair for both pathologies. After an aortic valve replacement, postcardiotomy pericardial effusion occurred and was medically managed. Six months later, the patient underwent a distal arcus aorta and subclavian artery replacement with a left posterolateral thoracotomy as the second stage. Due to the strict adhesions, pulmonary veins were not cannulated and an extracorporeal bypass between the pulmonary artery and femoral artery was used for distal body perfusion. The coincidence of subclavian aneurysms and a pseudocoarctation of the aorta is rare and a literature review was performed to identify treatment options for this pathology.

“…Cervical aortic arch is usually asymptomatic and incidentally detected; thus, no treatment is required. 73) Rarely, a pulsatile mass can be found in the neck portion, or tracheoesophageal compression can cause clinical symptoms such as dysphagia, wheezing, and coughing. If the clinical compressive symptoms are significant or an aneurysm is present, surgical repair such as endovascular repair with graft placement and subsequent axillary-axillary bypass may be considered.…”

There is a wide spectrum of congenital anomalies or variations of the aortic arch, ranging from non-symptomatic variations that are mostly detected incidentally to clinically symptomatic variations that cause severe respiratory distress or esophageal compression. Some of these may be accompanied by other congenital heart diseases or chromosomal anomalies. The widespread use of multidetector computed tomography (CT) in clinical practice has resulted in incidental detection of several variations of the aortic arch in adults. Thus, radiologists and clinicians should be aware of the classification of aortic arch anomalies and carefully look for imaging features associated with a high risk of clinical symptoms. Understanding the embryological development of the aortic arch aids in the classification of various subtypes of aortic arch anomalies and variants. For accurate diagnosis and precise evaluation of aortic arch anomalies, cross-sectional imaging modalities, such as multidetector CT or magnetic resonance imaging, play an important role by providing three-dimensional reconstructed images. In this review, we describe the embryological development of the thoracic aorta and discuss variations and anomalies of the aortic arch along with their clinical implications.
