Figure 1. Schematic diagram showing the close anatomical relationship among the aortic arch, innominate artery, and trachea. An expanding pseudoaneurysm in this region can erode into the trachea ...

Additionally, research correlating bronchoscopic findings with prenatal diagnoses in children with a right aortic arch and left arterial duct confirmed that significant tracheal compression can ...

Vascular ring: A group of congenital vascular formations that encircle and potentially compress the trachea and oesophagus, leading to respiratory and feeding difficulties. Aortic Arch Anomalies ...

The first branch is the right carotid and does not classify as a RAA branching pattern; one may be fooled into believing this is a left aortic arch with the first branch coursing rightward (see ...

We report tracheal replacement with fresh aortic allografts in two patients with large chemotherapy-resistant and radiotherapy-resistant tumors (mucoepidermoid and adenoid cystic carcinomas).

Causes Interrupted aortic arch is caused by the defective development of the aorta during early fetal life, probably within the first 5-7 weeks. It accounts for less than 2% of congenital heart ...

These are tightened so that the aortic arch and the trachea that lies behind it are both pulled forward, making the tracheal wall less likely to collapse on inspiration. Adequacy of the procedure can ...
