Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and natural history of pediatric patients with a diagnosis of vascular ring.
Method: We retrospectively studied the records of 110 patients of pediatric age, from January 2014 to December 2022, with the following variables: age, clinical manifestations, associated cardiac lesions, diagnostic method and surgical approach.
Results: Of the total, 60 (55%) were female and 50 (45%) were male.

The isolated left subclavian artery is a rare congenital variation of the vascular structure. Herein, we report the case of a 10-year-old boy with a rare isolated left subclavian artery. The left subclavian artery evolved from stenosis to atresia, resulting in subclavian steal syndrome.

Although hemodynamics influence thrombosis, the specific geometric contributors remain unclear. This study aimed to identify key variables to inform future hemodynamic analysis, hypothesizing that brachiocephalic, subclavian artery, mBTTS, and/or pulmonary artery (PA) geometry play a critical role in clot formation.

Aneurysms of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) are rare but constitute a potentially lethal condition, especially with concomitant Marfan syndrome (MFS). A 27-year-old female with confirmed MFS presented with a relevant progression of a known aneurysm of an ARSA in MRI. The patient had undergone valve-sparing aortic root replacement (David procedure) 4 months prior.

Objectives: This study evaluates the long-term outcome of neonatal aortic arch roof enlargement using ductal patency in the context of coarctation associated with aortic arch hypoplasia.
Methods: Retrospective single-centre analysis of children undergoing roof enlargement of the distal arch (left common carotid artery-left subclavian artery) without cardiopulmonary bypass (utilizing ductal patency for lower body perfusion); followed by resection and extended end-to-end anastomosis, through a left posterior thoracotomy. This study evaluates the long-term outcome with emphasis on arch growth and shape.
