“…In 2 cases of suspected DAA with LSCA distal atresia, although the atresia segment could not be directly displayed on ultrasound, the diagnosis of this disease was suggested according to the abnormal structural features in ultrasound (Fig. 3) consistent with those reported in the literature [5][6][7][8]. CTA and bronchoscopy were performed in the 2 cases, which confirmed the existence of tracheal compression stenosis and further supported the ultrasonic diagnosis.…”

Background The purpose of this study was to explore echocardiographic views and methods of aortic arch anomalies in infants, so as to improve the screening sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy. Methods 140 children with abnormal aortic arch diagnosed by ultrasound in Children’s Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2014 to December 2019 were selected for retrospective analysis. All were confirmed by surgery or/and computerized tomography angiography. Series of views for aortic arch (the three-vessel and tracheal view, aortic arch short axis view, left aortic arch long axis view, aortic arch long axis continuous scan views) were performed in all cases on the basis of the routine views of echocardiography. The screening sensitivity and diagnostic coincidence rate of different echocardiographic views for aortic arch anomalies were analyzed. Results Among the 140 infants, right aortic arch were 21 cases (6/21 were accompanied by mirror branch and 15/21 were with aberrant left subclavian artery). Left aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery were 2 cases, and double aortic arch with both arches open were 20 cases. Double aortic arch with left arch atresia were 2 cases, and atresia of the proximal aorta with aortic arch dysplasia was 1 case. Coarctation of the aorta were 67 cases, and interruption of aortic arch were 27 cases. All the patients were correctly diagnosed except that 2 infants with interruption of aortic arch were incorrectly diagnosed as coarctation of the aorta, and 1 infant with coarctation of the aorta was misdiagnosed as interruption of aortic arch by echocardiography. The screening sensitivities of four views and four-view combination for abnormal aortic arch were 99.3, 73.6, 87.1, 99.3, and 100%; the diagnostic coincidence rates were 85.7, 27.1,66.4, 95.0%, and 97.9% respectively. On the basis of traditional left aortic long axis view, other three views had their own advantages. The screening sensitivity and diagnostic coincidence rate of four-view combination were significantly improved. Conclusions The three-vessel trachea view is simple and feasible, which is suitable for screening abnormal aortic arch. The combination of four views conduces to improving screening sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of aortic arch abnormalities.

“…In this second type, the left subclavian artery is typically aberrant. Instead, complete vascular rings caused by a right aortic arch with mirror image of the branching of originating arteries are very rare [23][24][25]. In this type of malformation, the left subclavian artery originates from a normal location, as in the clinical case reported herewith.…”

An anomalous spirometric pattern can initiate a diagnostic path leading to the finding of a congenital vascular malformation. The flow-volume curve may hide a nonrespiratory pathology. Spirometry is not just asthma or COPD. http://bit.ly/30iHRCp Case reportA 37-year-old woman, who is a mother of a 5-yearold girl, presented to our outpatient pulmonary clinic because of cough and yellowish expectorate for 20 days. She was a former smoker of 10 cigarettes a day for 20 years (10 pack-years) and worked as agricultural day labourer. Since the age of 25 years, the patient reported one or two episodes of lower respiratory tract infection (LTRI) during the winter months that resolved within a few days of antibiotic and mucolytic treatment. The persistence of cough and expectorate of the last LTRI let the general practitioner to seek a respiratory specialist respiratory consultation with spirometry.She denied exertional dyspnoea and other symptoms. Moreover, skin prick tests for airborne allergens were moderately positive for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae mites, but there was no history of rhinitis and of any other disease.The physical examination of the chest was within normal limits, with no additional respiratory or cardiac sounds. Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry was 96% on room air, blood pressure 120/80 mmHg and heart rate 65 beats per min with a regular rhythm.Slow and forced ventilatory manoeuvres were executed without difficulty and with the patient's full cooperation, despite her cough (figure 1).
