Abbreviations
- Double aortic arch (DAA)
Definitions
- Persistent right and left aortic arches, each one giving rise to separate ipsilateral subclavian and carotid arteries
- Variants
- Both arches patent and functioning
- Right arch patent, left arch atretic
- Difficult to differentiate from right aortic arch mirror image branching
