Double Aortic Arch treatment in San Luis Potosí

Double aortic arch is a cardiovascular malformation present from birth in which the aorta artery forms a ring that surrounds the trachea and the esophagus, instead of following a single course.

Common symptoms: In babies and children it may cause noisy breathing, cough, choking when eating, or repeated respiratory infections, although some cases are mild.

When to see the doctor? An evaluation is advisable when a minor presents difficulty breathing or frequent problems with feeding.

Which specialist treats it? Its study involves the pediatrician, the pediatric cardiologist and, in certain cases, the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon. In the presence of these signs in a child, the most sensible thing is to seek specialized professional guidance.
