  • Title: Cervical aortic arch with ventricular septal defect. A differential diagnosis from interrupted aortic arch.
    Author: Jacobsen JR, Efsen F, Halveg A, Lauridsen P, Wennevold A.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiol; 1979 Apr; 9(4):277-83. PubMed ID: 428418.
    Abstract:
    A case of right cervical aortic arch with a large ventricular septal defect and a bicuspid aortic valve is reported. The angiographic diagnosis was interruption of the aortic arch type II, with aberrant right subclavian artery, a closed ductus arteriosus and retrograde vertebral-subclavian flow to the descending aorta. The cervical arch, demonstrated post mortem, was located high and deep in the neck. This differential diagnosis may have potential importance, as reported experience shows that a surgical aortic anastomosis is not required in cervical aortic arch.
