Aortic pseudocoarctation associated with polysplenia/heterotaxy syndrome

Polysplenia/heterotaxy syndrome is a rare congenital disorder associated with a wide spectrum of anomalies in various organ systems. Although anomalies of the cardiovascular system are common in this syndrome, the authors report a rare case of polysplenia syndrome associated with aortic pseudocoarct...
