Preferred Label : Vascular ring;
ICD-11 definition : A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which one or more of the following encircle
the trachea and esophagus: the aorta and its major branches, the pulmonary trunk and
its major branches, and the arterial duct (ductus arteriosus) or their vascular remnant(s).
The term vascular ring refers to a group of congenital vascular anomalies that encircle
with the potential to compress the oesophagus and-or trachea. The compression may
be from a complete anatomic ring (double aortic arch or right aortic arch with a left
ligamentum) or from a compressive effect of an aberrant vessel (innominate artery
compression syndrome).;
