Multi-detector computed tomography demonstration of double-lumen aortic arch – persistent fifth arch – as an isolated anomaly in an adult
Cardiology in the Young, 05/31/2012
Tehrai M et al. – Persistent fifth – double–lumen – aortic arch is a rarely seen entity, which is usually associated with other cardiac anomalies; it has been previously reported only in children. Authors report a new case of double–lumen aortic arch with a systemic–to–systemic connection diagnosed incidentally during cardiac multi–detector computer tomography evaluation of coronary artery bypass grafts in an adult.
