AI Article Synopsis
- The right-side aortic arch can be linked to an aberrant left subclavian artery, which may develop from Kommerell's diverticulum, an aneurysmal dilation of the aorta.
- Two cases are highlighted where a vascular ring is formed by the right-side aortic arch, an anomalous left subclavian artery, and Kommerell's diverticulum, alongside a left patent ductus arteriosus.
- The report includes a literature review discussing the embryological development of this anomaly and the imaging techniques helpful for its diagnosis.
Article Abstract
The right-side aortic arch may be associated with aberrant left subclavian artery, in some cases this artery originates from an aneurismal dilation of the aorta called Kommerell's diverticulum. A report is presented on 2 cases of vascular ring formed by a right-side aortic arch, anomalous left subclavian artery, Kommerell's diverticulum and left patent ductus arteriosus. A review the literature was also performed as regards the embryological development and the imaging methods used to help in the diagnosis of this rare vascular anomaly.
