  • Title: Vascular ring due to right aortic arch with mirror-image branching and left ligamentum arteriosus: complete preoperative diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging.
    Author: Zachary CH, Myers JL, Eggli KD.
    Journal: Pediatr Cardiol; 2001; 22(1):71-3. PubMed ID: 11123135.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been increasingly employed in the evaluation of aortic arch abnormalities. We present a rare form of vascular ring, that of a right aortic arch with mirror-image branching and left ligamentum arteriosus, which was clearly defined preoperatively by MRI. The patient subsequently underwent successful surgical division of the vascular ring followed by improvement in respiratory symptoms.
