Cervical aortic arch with ventricular septal defect. A differential diagnosis from interrupted aortic arch. 1979

J R Jacobsen, and F Efsen, and A Halveg, and P Lauridsen, and A Wennevold

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.

D006345 Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.

D001015 Aortic Arch Syndromes Conditions resulting from abnormalities in the arteries branching from the ASCENDING AORTA, the curved portion of the aorta. These syndromes are results of occlusion or abnormal blood flow to the head-neck or arm region leading to neurological defects and weakness in an arm. These syndromes are associated with vascular malformations; ATHEROSCLEROSIS; TRAUMA; and blood clots. Aortic Arch Syndrome,Syndrome, Aortic Arch,Syndromes, Aortic Arch
