Evaluation of double aortic arch and aortic coarctation by intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IV DSA).
Eleven pediatric patients with congenital aortic anomalies were evaluated using intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IV DSA). Excellent correlation was found between IV DSA, other imaging studies, and operative findings. Ten of 11 patients studied (90.9%) were correctly diagnosed using this technique. Intravenous DSA may be the procedure of choice in assessing aortic arch anomalies in selected patients.
