Vascular Sling

Although rare, vascular sling-ring complexes together in the same patient may be encountered. Once clinical complaints compatible with vascular ring anomalies are described, it should be kept in mind that more than one anomaly may be associated. By this case, the diagnostic and therapeutic course of pulmonary sling (PS) and aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) in an infant with breathing and feeding difficulties was presented.

Diverticulum Of Kommerell

Diverticulum of Kommerell is a congenital anomaly in the development of the primitive embryonic aortic vasculature resulting in either an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) from a right-sided aortic arch (RSAA) or an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) from a left-sided aortic arch (LSAA). Kommerell’s diverticulum (KD), is extremely rare in the general population having prevalence of 0.7–2.0 %. KD with true aneurysmal dilatation like any vascular lesion of the thoracic aorta weakens the vasculature and increases the risk of aortic rupture. Timely surgical intervention is of paramount importance in most of these cases. Variable clinical presentations in patients with KD are either a result of compression of some mediastinal organs or strangulation by the vascular ring from the aberrant subclavian artery (ASA). We report a case of a 39 years old Chinese female with a rare co-existence of a huge KD with a microaneurysm, an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), and ventricular septal defect (VSD). She underwent a successful operation and all her pre-surgical symptoms disappeared.

Chapter 10 examines radiologic images for common and uncommon pediatric airway and mediastinal disorders. These include pediatric airway disorders such as epiglottitis, croup, exudative tracheitis, congenital tracheomalacia, obstructive sleep apnea, retropharyngeal abscess, esophageal atresia, and tracheoesophageal fistula. The chapter goes on to look at vascular impressions on the trachea and esophagus, including double aortic arch, aberrant right subclavian artery, right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery, pulmonary sling, esophageal and tracheal foreign bodies, and bronchial foreign body. Mediastinal abnormalities examined include normal thymus and mediastinal masses. The chapter covers the clinical features and anatomy associated with these disorders as well as their diagnosis based on the radiologic imaging.

Abstract Background Congenital anomalies of the aortic arch are important as they may be associated with vascular ring anomalies. The most common vascular ring anomaly in dogs is a persistent right aortic arch. However, published data of the distribution of the different types of vascular ring anomalies and other aortic arch anomalies are lacking. The objective of this retrospective descriptive study was to evaluate both the prevalence and the different types of aortic arch anomalies that can be detected using thoracic computed tomography (CT) examination. Archived thoracic CT examinations acquired between 2008 and 2020 at a single institution were retrospectively evaluated by 2 evaluators for the prevalence and type of aortic arch anomaly. Breed, age, and presenting complaint were obtained from the medical record system. Results A total of 213 CT studies were evaluated; 21 dogs (21/213, 9.9%) showed a right aortic arch and a left ligamentum arteriosum with compression of the esophagus. The following incidental additional findings were detected: aberrant left subclavian artery (17/21, 76.2%), branching from the persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (1/21, 4.8%), left-sided brachiocephalic trunk (3/21, 14.3%), bicarotid trunk (17/21, 81.0%), double aortic arch (1/21, 4.8%). One hundred ninety two dogs (192/213, 90.1%) showed a left aortic arch without esophageal compression. The following additional abnormalities were obtained in those dogs with left aortic arch: aberrant right subclavian artery (3/192, 1.6%) without clinical signs of esophageal compression, aberrant vessel branching from the aorta into the left caudal lung lobe (2/192, 1.0%), focal dilatation of the left or right subclavian artery (2/192, 1.0%), bicarotid trunk (1/192, 0.5%). Conclusion Similar to previous studies an aberrant left subclavian artery is the most common additional finding in dogs with persistent right aortic arch. Newly, a left-sided brachiocephalic trunk was identified in 14.3% of the dogs with a persistent right aortic arch; no additional compression was caused by the left sided brachiocephalic trunk. Similarly, aberrant right subclavian artery can be an incidental CT finding without causing compression of the esophagus.

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.

Congenital aortic arch malformations manifest a broad-spectrum of differences and abnormalities that come from disturbed embryogenesis of branchial arches. Current case was a 10 months old baby girl with length of 69 cm (less than –3 SD) and weight of 5.5 kg (less than –3 SD). The patient had history of recurrent lower respiratory tract infections since the time of birth and failure to gain adequate weight since the time of birth. The patient has been having multiple check-ups with registered medical practitioners in the nearby locality and multiple courses of antibiotics with only partial resolution of symptoms. The 2-D echocardiogram showed her to be a case of supracardiac type of “Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR)”. All pulmonary veins making a confluence and draining into the right atrium. Significant turbulence observed at the level of superior vena cava to right atrium junction. A level of obstruction was recorded at the junction of the confluence of pulmonary veins and the vertical vein. There was aberrant right subclavian artery from the aortic arch as its third branch with no obstruction or aneurysm formation, having retrotracheal and esophageal course.

Two cases of aberrant subclavian arteries were detected incidentally during computed tomography scan of the thorax for other medical conditions. The patients did not have weight loss or dysphagia lusoria. The origin and course of theaberrant subclavian arteries are related to the anomaly of the aortic arch. The variations of aberrant right subclavian artery with left aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery with right aortic arch on computed tomography are discussed.Journal of Kathmandu Medical CollegeVol. 3, No. 4, Oct.-Dec., 2014Page: 162-164
