  • Title: Dissection of retroesophageal aortic diverticulum and descending aorta in a patient with right aortic arch: magnetic resonance demonstration.
    Author: Ko SF, Ng SH, Fu M, Lo PH, Cheng YF, Lee TY.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 1996; 19(6):438-41. PubMed ID: 8994713.
    Abstract:
    An acute aortic dissection involved the retroesophageal aortic diverticulum (RAD) and descending thoracic aorta in a patient with right aortic arch. The RAD, which was separated into false and true lumens by an intimal flap-the classic diagnostic sign of aortic dissection-was overlooked on transesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography but was clearly depicted on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It was found that MRI can delineate the anatomy of a congenital arch anomaly complicated by great vessels disease.
