or haemoptysis from tracheal or bronchial compression or erosion; or hoarseness from compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve (involvement of the distal aortic arch). Occasionally signs of ...

All morphologies of DAA caused symptoms and morphology type was not predictive of significant tracheal compression (p=0.3). Conclusions Genetic testing should be offered following detection of double ...

In the first, the aortic arch is missing from its normal position in front of the trachea, and instead courses behind the esophagus. The pulmonary artery lies in a normal position in front of the ...

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 31 fetal cases with double aortic arch anomalies over a 12-year period from June 1, 2011 to June 1, 2023. The assessment included combined ...

The now 3-year-old girl struggled to breathe after being born with a double aortic arch. The congenital heart ... at Georgia Tech created a 3D printed tracheal splint to help her breathe.

This artery originates directly from the aortic arch as a fourth branch or from the proximal part of the descending aorta. Then it follows an upward and rightward direction crossing the trachea and ...

A rigid bronchoscopy showed a long segment of tracheal stenosis, with complete tracheal rings ... due to extrinsic compression on the airway by vascular rings: a double aortic arch or right aortic ...

Vascular rings are rare congenital abnormalities of aortic arch and its branches. By circumferentially compressing the trachea and esophagus, they cause a wide range of obstructive aero-digestive ...
