Merged bilateral arterial duct and circumflex retroesophageal right aortic arch in a fetus with normal intracardiac anatomy. (4th December 2019) - Bichali, Saïd
Abstract: We report the case of a fetus with anamnios sequence and VACTERL syndrome, having a circumflex right aortic arch. Two arterial ducts join anteriorly to form a common vessel that connects to the pulmonary trunk with confluent pulmonary branches. Embryologically, the dorsal right 6th aortic arch did not disappear and the aortic arch development stopped in a symmetrical state with an exceptional "Y-shaped" merged bilateral arterial duct.
