The prevalence, clinical profile and surgical outcomes of children presenting with vascular ring and pulmonary sling
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Vascular anomalies are rare abnormalities which present with inspiratory stridor and recurrent respiratory tract infection. They are the commonest causes of mortality and morbidity in children due to misdiagnosis. They comprise about less than 4% of congenital heart diseases. The commonest of these anomalies were vascular ring and pulmonary sling. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, pattern of presentation and surgical outcomes of children presenting with vascular ring and pulmonary sling.
