Abstract
Surgical approach for the mirror-form of circumflex aortic arch with a long-segment hypoplasia is described. Instead of "uncrossing" the arch, posterior aortic translocation of the aorta is required for the mirror-form. These surgical strategies addressed all the associated patho-mechanisms: (1) relief of vascular ring, (2) removal of posterior arch compression on the trachea, and (3) correction of any arch obstruction. Posterior tracheobronchopexy was further required to address severe underlying tracheobronchomalacia.
