Abstract

In right aortic arch the branching pattern will be either a mirror image of normal or a partial mirror image characterized by an aberrant left subclavian artery. The chance of associated severe heart defect is 95 percent with mirror-image branching, but only about 10 percent with an aberrant left subclavian artery. A barium esophagram will indicate the branching pattern and the probability of associated heart disease.
