ABSTRACT

We present the case of a four years seven-month-old patient referred to cardiologist for heart murmur. Echocardiography study revealed interruption of the aortic arch. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed type A bilateral interruption in double aortic arch, with obliterated ductus arteriosus, without septal defect, with collateral network made of two thick anastomotic arteries that join the subclavian arteries to the descending aorta. We haven’t found this pathology reported in any medical literature. Asymptomatic patient received control as outpatient in Cardiology Department. Reexamined ten years later with multislice angiotomography, confirming the diagnosis.
