Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to explore echocardiographic views and methods of aortic arch anomalies in infants, so as to improve the screening sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy. Methods 140 children with abnormal aortic arch diagnosed by ultrasound in Children’s Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2014 to December 2019 were selected for retrospective analysis. All were confirmed by surgery or/and computerized tomography angiography. Series of views for aortic arch (the three-vessel and tracheal view, aortic arch short axis view, left aortic arch long axis view, aortic arch long axis continuous scan views) were performed in all cases on the basis of the routine views of echocardiography. The screening sensitivity and diagnostic coincidence rate of different echocardiographic views for aortic arch anomalies were analyzed. Results Among the 140 infants, right aortic arch were 21 cases (6/21 were accompanied by mirror branch and 15/21 were with aberrant left subclavian artery). Left aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery were 2 cases, and double aortic arch with both arches open were 20 cases. Double aortic arch with left arch atresia were 2 cases, and atresia of the proximal aorta with aortic arch dysplasia was 1 case. Coarctation of the aorta were 67 cases, and interruption of aortic arch were 27 cases. All the patients were correctly diagnosed except that 2 infants with interruption of aortic arch were incorrectly diagnosed as coarctation of the aorta, and 1 infant with coarctation of the aorta was misdiagnosed as interruption of aortic arch by echocardiography. The screening sensitivities of four views and four-view combination for abnormal aortic arch were 99.3, 73.6, 87.1, 99.3, and 100%; the diagnostic coincidence rates were 85.7, 27.1,66.4, 95.0%, and 97.9% respectively. On the basis of traditional left aortic long axis view, other three views had their own advantages. The screening sensitivity and diagnostic coincidence rate of four-view combination were significantly improved. Conclusions The three-vessel trachea view is simple and feasible, which is suitable for screening abnormal aortic arch. The combination of four views conduces to improving screening sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of aortic arch abnormalities.

Abstract Although devastating complications during simple coarctation of aorta repair now occur less frequently, some unique cases still require extra caution. Here, we report a case of coarctation of the aorta with a rare anomaly in the circle of Willis and an aberrant right subclavian artery, which required a thorough surgical strategy that prevented cerebral malperfusion.

Study Group

Abstract Introduction Turner syndrome (TS) represents the most common chromosomal disorder in women being, caused by the absence or structural abnormality of X chromosome. Congenital heart defects affect up to 50% of females with TS.Prevalence of coarctation of the aorta in TS has been estimated 7–18% depending on imaging method. Introduction of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into the routine practice markedly increased the detection rate of anomalies of the aortic arch such as elongated transverse aortic arch with abnormal curvature, i.e.kinking, pseudocoarctation or aberrant right subclavian artery. Aims of study was to estimate prevalence of anomalies of the aortic arch in our study group according to the karyotype. Methods and patients Study group consisted of 67 patients with TS at the age 7.3 yrs (range 0.1 - 16.5 yrs.). Complete cardiovascular examination (echocardiography, MRI of the heart and great vessels) and cytogenetic examination were performed in each of our study patient. Results The prevalence of anomalies of the aortic arch was 15% (10 patients). Four of them had elongated transverse aortic, coarctation of the aorta was found in three cases, aberrant right subclavian artery in two patients and one girl had right aortic arch. 45,X cell line was presented in every patient with anomaly of the aortic arch, none of them had structural abnormality of X chromosome. Conclusions Compared with the general population, the prevalence of CoA and the others anomalies of the aortic arch is significantly higher in women with TS, especially with 45,X cell line. As far as CoA is considered to be one of the major risk factor for aortic dissection detailed cardiovascular screening focused on thoracic aorta anomalies seems to be crucial in order to prevent it.

The Common

A postnatally diagnosed child underwent stenting of his native coarctation of the aorta after initial conservative management. After successful treatment of his coarctation, he was followed up regularly and was noted to develop hypertension. Subsequent investigations confirmed that he required further dilatation of his stent in view of somatic growth. Cardiac catheterization revealed an aneurysm at the site of the previous stenting. Given his aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSCA), the procedure was terminated with a view to the best method of treatment. He subsequently underwent re-stenting of his coarctation, with protection of his ARSCA with a balloon over a wire. The chapter explores the challenges in managing this condition using angioplasty, stenting, or surgery, and the common pitfalls that are encountered in the life of patients with this condition.

Steal Syndrome

The subclavian steal syndrome (SSS), also called subclavian steal steno-occlusive disease, is defined as reversal of the vertebral artery flow secondary to significant hemodynamically ipsilateral occlusion or stenosis of the proximal subclavian artery. It is usually seen secondary to atherosclerosis and aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), resulting in SSS which is even less common. Aberrant right subclavian artery is a kind of vascular anomaly associated with coarctation of the aorta (CoA). It usually originates from the descending aorta distal to the site of CoA. Here, we present a young man who was a case of ARSA and CoA. He developed SSS after transcatheter aortic stenting secondary to unusual origin of ARSA from the site of CoA. Awareness of this rare anomaly helps to overcome this complication in patients undergoing interventional stenting for CoA and ARSA with anomalous origin.

Hybrid Repair

Background: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can either present alone as an isolated condition or in association with other aortic arch or cardiac anomalies. One percent of patients with CoA have concomitant an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). Purpose: We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with uncontrolled hypertension who was found to have CoA and ARSA. Results: The patient was treated successfully using a hybrid procedure comprising ARSA ligation and subclavian to carotid transposition, followed by thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Conclusions: Patients with CoA should be carefully studied, considering the possible coexistence of other congenital aortic arch defects, such as ARSA. Hybrid repair is a safe and effective approach for this condition.

Abstract Introduction Congenital single lung (CSL) is a rare condition, and symptomatic patients often present with respiratory distress or recurrent respiratory infection due to mediastinal shift causing vascular or airway compression. Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is another rare congenital anomality that can lead to tracheal or esophageal compressions. There is only one other case of concurrent presentation of CSL and ARSA reported, which presented unique challenge in surgical management of our patient. Here we present a step-wise, multidisciplinary approach to manage symptomatic CSL and ARSA. Case presentation An infant girl with a prenatal diagnosis of CSL developed worsening stridor and several episodes of respiratory illnesses at 11 months old. Cross-sectional imaging and bronchoscopic evaluation showed moderate to severe distal tracheomalacia with anterior and posterior tracheal compression resulting from severe mediastinal rotation secondary to right-sided CSL. It was determined that her tracheal compression was mainly caused by her aortic arch wrapping around the trachea, with possible additional posterior compression of the esophagus by the ARSA. She first underwent intrathoracic tissue expander placement, which resulted in immediate improvement of tracheal compression. Two days later, she developed symptoms of dysphagia lusoria due to increased posterior compression of her esophagus by the ARSA. She underwent transposition of ARSA to the right common carotid with immediate resolution of dysphagia lusoria. As the patient grew, additional saline was added to the tissue expander due to recurrence in compressive symptoms. Conclusions Concurrent presentation of CSL and ARSA is extremely rare. Asymptomatic CSL and ARSA do not require surgical interventions. However, if symptomatic, it is crucial to involve a multidisciplinary team for surgical planning and to take a step-wise approach as we were able to recognize and address both tracheomalacia and dysphagia lusoria in our patient promptly.
