摘要

Double aortic arch (DAA) is a rare congenital anomaly associated with the formation of a vascular ring. Patients with DAA commonly suffer from complications caused by intracardiac and extracardiac malformations and different degrees of airway stenosis. Multislice computed tomographic angiography (MSCTA) is an intuitive and effective medical imaging technique in clinical diagnosis of DAA. MSCTA can accurately manifest the aortic arch and the course of the descending aorta and airway stenosis in three-dimension (3D). It is important to diagnose and make an operative plan for DAA. In this paper, we present a case of DAA diagnosed by MSCTA with 3D-static images and rotated reconstruction images and performed a mini-review.
