Right aortic arch: demonstration by first-pass and multigated radionuclide ventriculography.
Right aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly associated with abnormal development of the paired embryological aortic arches. While various abnormalities of the great vessels have been described using both first-pass and multigated radionuclide ventriculographic studies, diagnosis of a right-sided aortic arch has typically required a radiographic contrast technique. We present a case of a patient with a suspected right-sided aortic arch diagnosed by radionuclide methods.
