Ductal arteriosus aneurysm, right aortic arch, and isolated left subclavian artery in a neonate

Abstract

Ductal arteriosus aneurysm (DAA) is a well-recognized condition, especially in infancy, and is usually asymptomatic. We report the first case of a newborn who presented with significant inspiratory stridor and, using multiple imaging investigations, was subsequently diagnosed with the rare constellation of a congenital DAA, a right aortic arch and an isolated left subclavian artery with normal intra-cardiac anatomy. The patient underwent surgical resection of the DAA with significant improvement in symptoms.
