  • Title: Swing-back and trap-door technique repair for interrupted aortic arch with right-sided descending aorta.
    Author: Shiraishi S, Sugimoto A, Tsuchida M.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2019 Nov 01; 29(5):818-819. PubMed ID: 31317173.
    Abstract:
    A right-sided descending aorta with a left aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly in which the aortic arch crosses the midline from the left side of the trachea coursing to the descending aorta in the right thoracic cavity. The surgical repair of an interrupted aortic arch with a right-sided descending aorta carries great risks of bronchial and oesophageal obstruction. Herein, we describe a case of successful surgical repair of an interrupted aortic arch with a right-sided descending aorta using the swing-back and trap-door techniques.
