Diagnostic Considerations

Clinicians should promptly diagnose and properly define the anatomy of a double aortic arch.

Special concerns

There are no special issues or concerns related to pregnancy in patients with repaired vascular ring.

In patients with an unrepaired ring, pregnancy-induced physiologic changes should not be of special concern, although symptoms may be exacerbated in certain situations.

Other problems to be considered

A case of a double aortic arch in a patient with Kabuki syndrome has been reported. [7]
