Article Synopsis
- - A 60-year-old male with a long history of wheezing and a misdiagnosis of severe bronchial asthma was found to have a right aortic arch causing compression of the esophagus and trachea.
- - Diagnostic tests, including a barium oesophagogram and CT scan, revealed that an enlarged left innominate artery was narrowing the airway and digestive tract, explaining the patient's symptoms.
- - After undergoing a total aortic arch replacement, the patient's wheezing and dyspnea completely resolved, highlighting the importance of correctly diagnosing underlying anatomical issues.
