Abstract

Pseudocoarctaion is a rare congenital anomaly due to elongation of aortic arch. The exact etiology is still uncertain. It may be associated with other congenital cardiac and vascular anomalies. We report an unusual case of pseudocarctation associated with aberrant right subclavian artery, left SVC and multiple saccular aneurysms in the kinked arch and we feel that this is the first documented case in literature.
