A case of cervical aortic arch is reported. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first to be associated with a serious intracardiac anomaly. In addition, it is part of a new type of double aortic arch, caused by failure of reabsorption of both dorsal aortic roots and persistence of the fourth right and second (or third) left branchial arches.
The disadvantages of small-size 10 X 10 cm. films in angiocardiography do not preclude correct diagnosis in a well equipped cardiac laboratory. On the contrary, the advantages are such as to recommend a more extensive use. In our department the method has been limited to pediatric patients, mainly because of excessive scattered radiation at high kVp. It is hopeful that improvement in recording and combination with image intensification will make the system available in the future for adult use.
