“…Of the more than 100 cardiac and vascular morphological alterations, 6 are the most frequently observed, among them: anomalous left subclavian artery with left aortic arch, right aortic arch with left ligament, right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery, compression tracheal through the in nominate artery, double aortic arch and sling of the pulmonary artery. 3 The normal pattern is a left aortic arch, with a left descending thoracic aorta and a left duct or ligament extending from the proximal descending thoracic aorta to the left pulmonary artery. The branches of the arch are the right brachiocephalic artery (which divides into the common carotid and right subclavian artery), the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery.…”

We reported the case of a two-month-old infant with a diagnosis of double aortic arch, with persistence of the left ductus arteriosus, with a recurrent pneumonias, underwent surgery and after the diagnosis made by angiotomography, however retrospective, simple chest plate, esophagogram and bronchoscopy were compared where the same findings coincide in all of them; the patient was discharged for improvement.

“…When the ductus arteriosus or its ligament arises more laterally, the ring can be loose and cause no symptoms. In contrast, when the ductus arteriosus arises medially from the Kommerell's diverticulum, the ring is tight and does trigger clinical symptoms (Kanne and Godwin, 2010;Backer and Mavroudis, 2013;Demirkol et al, 2013). Therefore, the presence of Kommerell's diverticulum could be key to diagnosing ring-forming variations.…”

“…Normally, the human aortic arches undergo a stereotypical developmental program (Yoo and Bradley, ; Whitehead and Weinberg, ; Backer and Mavroudis, ; Park, ; Ezon and Penny, ). First, the left side of the 4 th pharyngeal arch artery forms part of the aortic arch between the left common artery and the left subclavian artery, and the right side of this arch forms the beginning of the subclavian artery.…”

Double aortic arch anomalies in Children: A Systematic 20‐Year Single Center Study

et al. 2017

Aortic arch anomalies underlie numerous congenital disorders. Effectively diagnosing and treating them requires close understanding of cardiovascular embryology. As our Center serves the entire pediatric population of our country, we performed a comprehensive retrospective analysis of all aortic arch anomalies diagnosed at our Center over the past 20 years. We analyzed 40 children with aortic arch anomalies, distinguishing two defect types: Group 1 displayed ring-forming anomalies, and Group 2 other types of aortic arch anomalies that did not form a vascular ring. We performed detailed morphological analyses using echocardiography, angiography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging and generated a catalog of all aortic arch anomalies present. Group 1 was represented by 25 patients; 40% with persistent both aortic arches, and 60% with various forms of right aortic arch and an incomplete left aortic arch. Group 2 was represented by 15 patients with complex heart defects. On the basis of our dataset, the incidence of all aortic arch anomalies was 0.033%, and of ring-forming pathologies 0.021%. Although aortic arch anomalies are rare, it is important to diagnose them correctly. It is critical to distinguish ring-forming types. Although in complex defects the aortic arch anomaly represents only an additive diagnosis, its correct definition could be crucial for further management. Cumulatively, this unique, long-term study provides a systematic patient registry and offers critical epidemiological data to aid the study of rare congenital cardiovascular defects. Clin.
