Hemodynamic and angiographic findings in a case of kinking of the aorta.
The authors report a case of aortic kinking associated with abnormalities of size of aortic arch vessels. The diagnostic aid of hemodynamic and angiographic techniques is emphasized. The possibility that aortic kinking and the abnormalities of aortic arch vessels may be etiologically related is suggested.
