Arterial Malformations which Cause Compression of the Trachea or Esophagus

Arterial malformations which cause compression of the trachea or esophagus.

Vascular Compression of the - Trachea and Oesophagus

In the developing embryo the foregut is surrounded by a group of vascular structures of bilateral distribution connected with the branchial arches. Portions of these arches are obliterated to form the normally described aorta and great vessels. The ultimate persistence of only one main vascular arch, the left, as the aorta, permits the trachea and oesophagus to lie freely to its right side. Whe...

Innominate artery compression of the Trachea.

We review innominate artery compression of the trachea in 60 surgically corrected patients and 30 in patients who did not undergo surgery. The symptoms and radiologic features are correlated with the degree of tracheal narrowing at bronchoscopy and with associated defects that may exist. From this study, a history of respiratory distress with "reflex apnea" associated with tracheal narrowing is...
