Four patients with three rare aortic arch anomalies, all of which can be classified as variants of Edwards' hypothetical double aortic arch system, were studied. The diagnosis was based on angiographic findings in all cases and, in addition, on operative findings in all cases and, in addition, on operative findings in three and operative and autopsy findings in one case. All normal and anomalous variants of aortic arches may be incorporated into a new classification based upon Edwards' hypothetical double aortic arch system. In the new classification the term double aortic arch with types A, B, C, or D atresia or interruption of the left or the right arch covers all known arch anomalies. The types A, B, C, and D refer to the site of atresia or interruption of the hypothetical double aortic arch model in relationship to the ductus arteriosus and brachiocephalic vessels.
对4例患有3种罕见主动脉弓异常的患者进行了研究，所有这些异常均可归类为爱德华兹假设性双主动脉弓系统的变体。所有病例的诊断均基于血管造影结果，此外，3例基于手术结果，1例基于手术及尸检结果。所有正常和异常的主动脉弓变体都可纳入基于爱德华兹假设性双主动脉弓系统的新分类中。在新分类中，术语“双主动脉弓伴A、B、C或D型闭锁或左、右弓中断”涵盖了所有已知的弓异常。A、B、C和D型指的是假设性双主动脉弓模型闭锁或中断的部位与动脉导管和头臂血管的关系。
