Silent Double Aortic Arch Coincidentally Found During Cardiac Catheterization in Elderly Man
Authors:Gioel G. Secco  Paolo N. Marino  Alessandro Carriero  Giuseppe De Luca
Abstract:We describe a case of an elderly man known for coronary artery disease (previous bypass surgery) hospitalized for ischemia in inferior wall. Since the operation, the patient underwent coronary angiographies. Due to the impossibility of selective engagement of left subclavian artery from femoral access, LIMA was always visualized through a right radial approach. Despite the suspicious of abnormal origin of left subclavian artery, aortic angiography was never performed. During the third angiography, the double aortic arch was coincidentally visualized by using a left Amplatz catheter. The diagnosis was confirmed by 64‐slice computed tomography scan.
Keywords:Double Aortic Arch  Angiogram  CT Scan
