Vascular rings are congenital anomalies of the aortic arch, which may cause compression of the trachea and esophagus. Compression symptoms usually present in infants and children. Adult presentations are quite rare, and compression symptoms may not be relieved by surgical correction due to tracheal remodeling and malacia caused by a long-standing compression. Here, we present an adult case of symptomatic vascular ring formed by the right aortic arch and persistent left ligamentum arteriosus. Respiratory symptoms were predominantly due to severe tracheal stenosis caused by tracheal wall thickening through remodeling during long-standing compression, and were relieved by surgery with transection of the persistent followed by resection and reconstruction of the trachea.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2), previously named "2019 novel coronavirus" (2019-nCoV) is an emerging disease and a major public health issue. At the moment, little is known, except that its spread is on a steady upward trend. That is the reason why it was declared pandemic since March 11th, 2020. Respiratory symptoms dominate the clinical manifestations of the virus, but in a few patients also other organs are involved, such as their heart. This review article provides an overview of the existing literature regarding imaging of heart injury during COVID-19 acute infection and follow-up.
