Duplicated Descending Aorta Resulting in Early Localized Vascular Disease

While congenital variants of the aortic arch have been well described, anatomic anomalies of the descending aorta are extremely rare. We present a case of a 31-year-old male with congenital duplication of the descending aorta resulting in advanced localized atherosclerotic disease found incidentally...

description While congenital variants of the aortic arch have been well described, anatomic anomalies of the descending aorta are extremely rare. We present a case of a 31-year-old male with congenital duplication of the descending aorta resulting in advanced localized atherosclerotic disease found incidentally on diagnostic imaging. This case presents a rare anatomic variant that can not only lead to early aortic disease but may also complicate future endovascular intervention.
