Fig. 4 A: Postoperative cardiac point-of-care ultrasound showed that the lower persistent fifth aortic arch was broadened, with the narrowest measuring 6.5mm. Color Doppler echocardiography showed patent arterial flow. B: Postoperative continuous wave Doppler echocardiography showed normal descending aorta flow velocity.
