In this paper, we describe a rare case of double aortic arch with dominant right arch with focal narrowing of the distal left arch and descendent aorta's dilatation, associated with pulmonary embolism and left subclavian steal syndrome, found in a 59-year-old woman with a history of dysphagia, chest discomfort, and left arm claudication. Diagnosis of this condition was made with a sub-optimal pulmonary CT-angiography with a combination of characteristic features of double aortic arch and vascular rings. Being aware of these conditions is crucial to avoid misclassification and surgical and endovascular complications.
在本文中,我们描述了一例罕见的双主动脉弓病例,其右弓为主,左弓远端局灶性狭窄,降主动脉扩张,伴有肺栓塞和左锁骨下动脉盗血综合征,该病例见于一名有吞咽困难、胸部不适和左臂间歇性跛行病史的59岁女性。通过结合双主动脉弓和血管环的特征性表现的次优肺部CT血管造影对该疾病进行了诊断。认识到这些情况对于避免误诊以及手术和血管内并发症至关重要。
