  • Title: Left-sided aortic arch, right-sided descending aorta, and right-sided arterial duct associated with interruption of the aortic arch and presence of Abbott's artery.
    Author: Nisli K, Aydogan U, Tansel T.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2007 Aug; 17(4):445-7. PubMed ID: 17594736.
    Abstract:
    We describe a male infant, seen at the age of 10 days, with a very rare form of vascular ring. The aortic arch was left-sided, but the aorta descended on the right, with a right-sided persistently patent arterial duct associated with interruption of the aortic arch and presence of Abbott's artery. We performed end-to-side anastomosis of the descending aorta to the ascending aorta, divided the Abbott's artery and the right-sided arterial duct, and banded the pulmonary trunk. Despite our best efforts, the patient died on the eighth day after the surgical intervention.
