Congenital vascular rings as a cause of respiratory and esophageal problems in children
Congenital anomalies of the aortic arch include a wide range of anatomic pathologies, which may be completely asymptomatic or accompanied by severe respiratory and/or esophageal symptoms, especially in the case of complete vascular rings (VR). Purpose
