Summary
This study reports a rare vascular anomaly: a left aortic arch connecting to a right descending aorta without a retroesophageal segment. This case provides insight into the embryogenesis of complex vascular anomalies.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Embryology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Vascular rings are congenital anomalies of the aortic arch.
- The Kirkling and Edwards classification categorizes various aortic arch anomalies.
- Hypothetical vascular anomalies require case studies for validation and understanding.
