Biphasic flow velocity pattern in the descending aorta in double aortic arch.
We report a case of double aortic arch in which the biphasic flow velocity pattern in the descending aorta changed to a monophasic flow velocity pattern after corrective surgery. The hypoplasia of left aortic arch might prolong the acceleration time of the flow velocity in the left aortic arch.
