AI Article Synopsis
- Congenital malformations of the aortic arch, particularly right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery, are uncommon in adults.
- Three adult cases are presented, all experiencing symptoms due to tracheal compression caused by vascular rings.
- The paper discusses the varying presentations of these malformations and the tailored surgical approaches based on each patient's specific anatomical features.
Article Abstract
Congenital malformations of the aortic arch are rarely found in adulthood. We describe three cases of right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery with left-sided ligamentum arteriosum presenting in adulthood as vascular rings with symptoms of tracheal compression. Varying presentation as well as surgical strategy which was individualized according to the pathological anatomy of each case are discussed.
