1 Preoperative and postoperative evaluation of airways compression in pediatric patients with 3-dimensional multislice computed tomographic scanning: Effect on surgical management  Virginie Lambert, MD, Anne Sigal-Cinqualbre, MD, Emre Belli, MD, Claude Planché, MD, Régine Roussin, MD, Alain Serraf, MD, PhD, Jacqueline Bruniaux, MD, Claude Angel, MD, Jean-François Paul, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 129, Issue 5, Pages (May 2005) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2005 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Double aortic arch. 3D-CT showed an unusual form, with hypoplasia of the right arch (A) severely compressing the trachea. The right and left main bronchi appear free of compression (B). AA, Ascending aorta; E, esophagus; LAA, left aortic arch; LMB, left main bronchus; PA, pulmonary artery; RAA, right aortic arch; RMB, right main bronchus; T, trachea.

3 Figure 2 Aberrant left pulmonary artery. Preoperative evaluation with 3D-CT revealed an aberrant left pulmonary artery (A) responsible for tracheal compression (B). After repair, the 3D-CT scan showed severe persisting compression of the anterior side of the trachea (C) by the left pulmonary artery (D). Ao, Aorta; LPA, left pulmonary artery; RPA, right pulmonary artery; T, trachea.
