Article Synopsis
- Aortic arch anomalies are varied conditions that can significantly affect patient health, and understanding their prevalence and effective diagnostic methods is essential for quality patient care.
- A study was conducted in a hospital analyzing data from 2350 patients who underwent CT angiography, revealing 18 individuals diagnosed with various aortic arch anomalies like left aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery and aortic coarctation.
- Although these anomalies are frequently asymptomatic, advanced CT techniques are the best diagnostic approach, capable of highlighting associated cardiac or vascular issues.

Pseudocoarctation of the aorta (PCoA) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the abnormal kinking of the thoracic aorta. It is often incidentally diagnosed but gained clinical significance due to its propensity to develop aortic aneurysm and rupture. A standard diagnostic and treatment algorithm for PCoA is lacking, and also, the natural history of the disease is not well studied.

Background: Isolated redundant foramen ovale flap aneurysm (RFOA) in the absence of restrictive foramen ovale is believed to be a cause for pseudocoarctation of aorta since the impediment of blood flow to the left heart can be severe, resembling the picture of left ventricular hypoplasia with retrograde aortic flow. The primary objective of the study is to find whether RFOA is always a benign lesion. The main focus of the study is to share my experience in particular on fetuses having redundant foramen ovale flap aneurysm developing into coarctation of aorta and to study the associated factors.
