Severe short narrowing of the descending aorta just distal to the left subclavian artery, and proximal to the ductus arteriosus, therefore, the blood supply to the descending aorta is via a patent ductus arteriosus.
An associated aberrant right subclavian artery is noted, arising from the post-stenotic descending aorta, and coursing behind both trachea, and esophagus.
Bilateral lung consolidation with air bronchogram as well as ground-glass opacities.
Case Discussion
CT features of coarctation of the aorta with a patent ductus arteriosus and an aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria).
