  • Title: Pseudocoarctation of the aorta associated with the anomalous origin of the left vertebral artery: a case report.
    Author: Son JS, Hong KB, Chung DC.
    Journal: Korean J Radiol; 2008; 9(3):283-5. PubMed ID: 18525233.
    Abstract:
    Pseudocoarctation of the aorta is a rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch, and it has been described as an elongation of the aortic arch with "kinking" at the level of the ligamentum arteriosum without a pressure gradient across the lesion. The treatment for this condition is controversial. We report here on an unusual case of pseudocoarctation of the aorta associated with the anomalous origin of the left vertebral artery and we include a review of the medical literature.
