  • Title: Vascular ring in interruption of the aortic arch with bilateral patent ductus arteriosi.
    Author: Blatchford JW, Franciosi RA, Singh A, Edwards JE.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1987 Oct; 94(4):596-9. PubMed ID: 3657261.
    Abstract:
    The previously unreported occurrence of a true vascular ring in association with interruption of the aortic arch resulting from bilateral persistence of the ductus arteriosi is described. Division of both ductus is necessary to minimize the potential for tracheobronchial compression. This should be accomplished either during definitive (one-stage) repair of the interrupted aortic arch and associated anomalies or at the initial procedure of a staged repair.
