D-transposition of the great arteries and double aortic arch

Abstract

Fig. 1. Volume-rendered image from CT (Somatom Sensation 16; Siemens Medical Solutions, Forchheim, Germany) demonstrates double aortic arch with dominant left arch. The aorta originates from the right ventricle. Only six cases of double aortic arch associated with D-transposition of the great arteries have been previously reported. RV: right ventricle, AA: ascending aorta, LSA: left subclavian artery, LCCA: left common carotid artery, RSA: right subclavian artery, RCCA: right common carotid artery.
