Double Aortic Arch Associated with Complete Transposition of the Great Arteries

The authors report a case of double aortic arch associated with complete transposition of the great arteries. On 7th, Feb. 1985, Rastelli operation was performed for transposition using extracardiac valved conduit. Postoperative course was complicated by persistent right lower lobe atelectasis which resulted from tracheal compression by double aortic arch. On 20th, Mar. 1985, left arch was divided distal to the left subclavian artery followed by complete resolution of the atelectasis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case ever reported in Korea.
