Abstract

Cardiovascular malformations are frequently associated in patients with esophageal atresia (EA). We observed azygos continuation mimicking an aortic arch anomaly in four newborns with type III EA. They presented concomitant rib anomalies indicating a common developmental defect. Foreknowledge is important for planning thoracotomy or interventional cardiac catheterization in this population.

摘要

心血管畸形在食管闭锁（EA）患者中经常并存。我们在4例III型EA新生儿中观察到奇静脉延续，酷似主动脉弓异常。他们同时伴有肋骨异常，提示存在共同的发育缺陷。对于规划该人群的开胸手术或介入性心导管检查而言，预先了解这一情况很重要。
