title: [Surgical correction of intrathoracic compression of respiratory ways due to double aortal arch in children].
abstract: In 1982-1999 period 49 children aged 1.5 mo-14 yrs with vascular ring anomaly were examined. In 28 of them the double aortal arch (DAA), causing intrathoracic compression of respiratory ways, was revealed. Surgical correction of DAA was done in 27 patients. Optimal surgical access is left-sided lateral thoracotomy along third or fourth intercostal space. Tactics of surgical intervention was differentiated one depending on anatomo-topographic peculiarities of aortal arch morphology, its branches and age of a child. Aortopexy was done together with vascular failure correction for concomitance with secondary tracheomalacia and Kommerel's diverticulum.
