title: Aortic pseudocoarctation associated with polysplenia/heterotaxy syndrome.
abstract: Polysplenia/heterotaxy syndrome is a rare congenital disorder associated with a wide spectrum of anomalies in various organ systems. Although anomalies of the cardiovascular system are common in this syndrome, the authors report a rare case of polysplenia syndrome associated with aortic pseudocoarctation, which to our knowledge has never been reported.
