Persistent left sided fifth aortic arch in a neonate.
A persistent left sided fifth aortic arch with coarctation of the aorta and persistence of the ductus arteriosus was recognised and treated surgically in a newborn infant. The fifth arch was used to repair the coarctation, and five years later the child had normal peripheral pulses and no residual murmurs.
