  • Title: Incidentally detected right aortic arch with mirror image branching in a patient with rheumatic calcific mitral valve disease.
    Author: Nair KKM, Ganapathi S, Inamdar S, Gopalakrishnan A, Kapilamoorthy TR, Valaparambil A.
    Journal: Natl Med J India; 2018; 31(1):22-23. PubMed ID: 30348918.
    Abstract:
    An isolated right-sided aortic arch with no congenital heart disease is extremely rare. We report an adult woman with longstanding rheumatic heart disease causing severe calcific mitral stenosis, moderate mitral regurgitation and moderate pulmonary hypertension, for which she underwent mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty. On preoperative work-up, she was detected to have a right-sided aortic arch with mirror image branching along with a ductal dimple. However, there were no associated congenital cardiac defects.
