Abstract
Background: The association of double aortic arch and common arterial
trunk is extremely rare. The initial surgical approach depends on the
patient’s clinical condition and associated cardiac anomalies. Aim: To
report a rare association of common arterial trunk with double aortic
arch in a 4-month-old female infant. Methods: description of case of a
rare association where double aortic arch was not diagnosed initially,
surgical repair was done successfully. Results and conclusions:
associated cardiovascular anomalies may have an impact on management and
outcome. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography may be
useful in assessment of this rare association. Complete repair has
favorable outcome.
