Abstract
Vascular rings are unusual congenital malformations. Among them, double aortic arch (DAA) is often difficult to diagnose due to its low incidence of symptoms. DAA can be associated with tracheal or esophageal compression and, in severe cases, could require tracheal intubation or chronic use of a nasogastric tube. This scenario favors the development of aortotracheal fistulas (ATF) or aortoesophageal fistulas (AEF).
