Rare Anomaly of the Aortic Arch Combined With Coarctation of the Aorta

A. N. ROMANOS M.D.; C. L BRUINS M.D.; and A. G. BROM M.D.

Two cases of rare anomalies of the aortic arch combined with coarctation of the aorta are described.

In the first case the anomalous right subclavian artery arose proximal to the coarctation and was successfully used to bridge the defect resulting from resection of the coarctation.

The second case presented a patent right aortic arch, likewise proximal to the coarctation. Intervention in this case had to be limited to the coarctation in view of the absence of tracheal compression and the technical difficulties encountered.

In both cases the aortic stricture presented the characteristic features of coarctation of the aorta.
