Vascular rings in a tertiary care center: A retrospective review of clinical presentations and interventions

Figure 2 Chest radiograph in vascular rings. A: Anteroposterior chest radiograph of a patient with double aortic arch demonstrating hyperinflated lungs and tracheal indentation. The patient was initially diagnosed with asthma and experienced recurrent respiratory tract infections requiring multiple hospitalizations. A normal or non-specific anteroposterior chest radiograph does not exclude a vascular ring; B: Selective aortogram (cardiac catheterization) of patient 2, showing a right aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery arising from the descending aorta, confirming the diagnosis of vascular ring. RAS: Right anterosuperior; LCCA: Left common carotid artery, RCCA: Right common carotid artery; RAA: Right aortic arch; ALSCA: Aberrant left subclavian artery.
