Indomethacin induced and prostaglandin relieved coarctation of the aorta in right aortic arch with left arterial duct: a case report

AbstractWe describe the case of an infant with DiGeorge syndrome born with a right aortic arch and left arterial duct. Despite the remote location of the right aortic arch from the left arterial duct, he developed coarctation of the aorta during treatment with indomethacin. This was relieved by prostaglandin treatment. This case highlights the fact that, even in the absence of an arterial duct, ductal tissue can still be present in the aorta, and cause coarctation when exposed to indomethacin. We also demonstrate the utility of prostaglandin for relief of this type of obstruction.

Abstract Right aortic arch in association with coarctation of the aorta and vascular ring is a rare anatomy. We present an infant with chromosome 22q11.2 deletion, who had the right aortic arch with retroesophageal aberrant left subclavian artery and left internal carotid artery. The left external carotid artery and right common carotid artery originated together from the ascending aorta as a bovine branch. The infant also had severe coarctation, which was prostaglandin dependent.

AbstractTetralogy of Fallot and coarctation of the aorta is an exceptional association. We report here four cases of infants referred for tetralogy of Fallot with or without pulmonary atresia associated with aortic coarctation from 1974 to 2013. All had a right aortic arch, and the coarctation was abnormally situated between the right common carotid and the right subclavian arteries. In all, two infants had an abnormal left subclavian artery and one child had DiGeorge syndrome. All underwent staged surgical repair of the left and right-sided obstructions. A review of the literature shows two types of coarctation in this context. In left aortic arch, coarctation is situated distal to the left subclavian artery. In right aortic arch, coarctation is distal to the right common carotid artery, mirror-image of interrupted left aortic arch type B, associated with anomalies of the branches of the aorta, and should be considered a complex anomaly of aortic arches in the setting of an outflow tract defect due to abnormal migration of cardiac neural crest cells. Screening for this unusual association is critical in the initial assessment of all patients with tetralogy of Fallot.
