🌟 Ending a Year Full of Fascinating Clinical Cases with a Remarkable One As this year draws to a close, which has been filled with numerous intriguing clinical cases, I want to highlight one particularly remarkable one that showcases the complexity and wonder of the human vascular system: - Right aortic arch - Aberrant left subclavian artery with Kommerell's diverticulum with associated tortuosity of the subclavian artery (<50% stenosis at the origin) - tracheal compression The combination of these anomalies led to a subtle yet significant tracheal imprint, which was studied non-invasively in detail using virtual bronchoscopy. As we approach the end of the year, it’s a great moment to reflect on the continued advancements in medical imaging and technology that help us provide better care for our patients. Looking forward to more breakthroughs and challenges in the year ahead! Wishing everyone a peaceful holiday season and a healthy New Year! 🎄✨ #cardiacimaging #GHSC #VascularAnomalies #VascularRing

5moEasily diagnosed with CMRI!! Doesn't require contrast... This is a great study though. Shows what can be done with the right imaging technique.
