  • Title: Vascular ring due to left aortic arch and right descending aorta.
    Author: Berman W, Yabek SM, Dillon T, Neal JF, Akl B, Burstein J.
    Journal: Circulation; 1981 Feb; 63(2):458-60. PubMed ID: 6450006.
    Abstract:
    Two children presented with symptoms suggestive of a vascular ring. Barium esophagrams in each case showed a posterior impression caused by a retroesophageal aortic arch. Angiographic studies defined a rare form of vascular ring resulting from an ascending left-sided aorta, a descending right-sided aorta and a right-sided ligamentum arteriosum. At surgery, the diagnosis was confirmed and the anomaly was corrected in each patient. Left pulmonary anomalies were present in each patient.
