Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • Double aortic arch is a rare congenital vascular anomaly.
  • It can cause significant tracheal and esophageal compression in infants.
  • Surgical correction is the definitive treatment for symptomatic cases.

Observation:

  • A six-month-old patient presented with severe obstructive symptoms.
  • Symptoms included stridor, dysphagia, and recurrent respiratory infections.
  • Diagnostic imaging confirmed a double symmetrical aortic arch.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic imaging modalities like esophagogram, echocardiography, and angiography were utilized.
  • Echocardiography proved valuable for initial diagnosis and assessment.
