[Double aortic arch associated with stenosis of left pulmonary artery].
Case report on a 6-year-old patient with vascular ring, due to double aortic arch. The patient was asymptomatic. The barium-filled esophagus showed bilateral indentations and a large posterior indentation. Echocardiographic study in notch suprasternal view revealed features of this pathology. The diagnosis was made by the cineangiocardiographic study that showed double aortic arch with separate carotid and subclavian arteries arising from each arch. The right arch was larger than the left, and the descending aorta was on the left side. There was severe left pulmonary artery stenosis associated. The clinical management was chosen, because the patient was asymptomatic.
