In this paper, we describe a rare case of double aortic arch with dominant right arch with focal narrowing of the distal left arch and descendent aorta's dilatation, associated with pulmonary embolism and left subclavian steal syndrome, found in a 59-year-old woman with a history of dysphagia,...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper, we describe a rare case of double aortic arch with dominant right arch with focal narrowing of the distal left arch and descendent aorta's dilatation, associated with pulmonary embolism and left subclavian steal syndrome, found in a 59-year-old woman with a history of dysphagia, chest discomfort, and left arm claudication. Diagnosis of this condition was made with a sub-optimal pulmonary CT-angiography with a combination of characteristic features of double aortic arch and vascular rings. Being aware of these conditions is crucial to avoid misclassification and surgical and endovascular complications.
