INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of total endovascular repair of the aortic arch in pigs using improved integrated double-branched stent grafts. METHODS Improved self-expandable stent grafts with a main body and two integrated branches were prepared for the repair of the aortic arch in six pigs. The feasibility of using these stent grafts was evaluated with arteriogra...

Double aortic arch is a rare congenital disorder. Symptoms arises due to compression of trachea or esophagus. Its presentation varies from asymptomatic cases life threatening respiratory distress. Clinical diagnosis often difficult presence wide verities symptoms. We described three-month-old child presented with wheezing and severe distress found have double arch.

INTRODUCTION Double aortic arch is a congenital vascular abnormality in which the connected segments and their branches course between and compress the trachea and esophagus, often resulting in invariable airway compression. CASE PRESENTATION A 4-year-old boy with a history of recurrent wheezing was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of asthma based on his past medical history, persisten...

We report the case of a 2-month-old baby with a double aortic arch, type C atresia of the left arch and severe hypoplasia of the right aortic arch between the right carotid and subclavian arteries, resulting in systemic obstruction, left ventricular dysfunction and congestive heart failure. Surgical augmentation of the right aortic arch ameliorated the obstruction with improvement in left ventr...

Loop-tail (Lp) is a naturally occurring mouse mutant that develops severe neural tube defects. In this study, we describe complex cardiovascular defects in Lp homozygotes, which include double-outlet right ventricle, with obligatory perimembranous ventricular septal defects, and double-sided aortic arch, with associated abnormalities in the aortic arch arteries. Outflow tract and aortic arch de...

A case of double aortic arch in a 15 month old boy was diagnosed by cross sectional echocardiography supplemented by Doppler colour flow mapping. These examinations showed two very large vessels communicating with the aorta; the demonstration of anterograde flow in one vessel and retrograde flow in the other enabled a definite diagnosis of Edwards type IA double aortic arch to be made.

Double aortic arch is a common form of complete vascular ring that encircles both the trachea and the esophagus, and presents with various respiratory and esophageal symptoms, usually in the pediatric population. We present a case of double aortic arch in an adult patient that manifested as massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding after prolonged nasogastric intubation.

Children with double aortic arch most often present in infancy. This report presents 3 patients in whom the diagnosis of double aortic arch was not revealed until later in childhood. They were all given a misdiagnosis of asthma, but abnormalities detected on the flow-volume curve led to the true diagnosis.

Double aortic arch is a congenital anomaly that is rarely found in adults. Typically, this is treated in infancy secondary to symptoms. We describe the treatment of an asymptomatic adult male that was diagnosed with double aortic arch during cardiac catheterization.
