Abstract

We present a full-term neonate with a postnatal diagnosis with a left aortic arch, bilateral ducti, and discontinuous branch pulmonary arteries with right pulmonary artery arising from right duct. Upon left ductal constriction, the patient experienced coarctation of the aorta, illustrating the importance of careful and serial interrogation of rare cardiac anatomy.

Keywords: coarctation of the aorta; echocardiography; pediatric surgery; physical examination; pulmonary circulation.
