We reviewed all patients evaluated at our center with situs solitus, levocardia, and a right aortic arch that were born between January 2000 and January 2018.From our databases, we identified 204 patients. We excluded patients with a double aortic arch from analysis. Of the 204 patients, 103 (50%) were male. Of the 204 patients, 95 (47%) had an isolated right aortic arch. Of the 95 with an isolated right aortic arch, 4 (4%) had chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and 89 (94%) had a vascular ring. Of the 204 patients, 109 (53%) had a surgical intracardiac malformation. Of the 109, with an associated surgical intracardiac malformation, 38 (35%) had chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, and 28 (26%) had a vascular ring. Overall, of the 204 patients, 200 (98%) had a vascular ring, an associated intracardiac malformation, or both. Prenatal detection was 85% (40/47) for the subset of patients born in Southern Nevada between January 2015 and January 2018.this review, to best of our knowledge, reports one of largest series of right aortic arches in the literature. Data from our cohort demonstrates that a right aortic arch in situs solitus is almost always associated with pathology. Further, our center's right aortic arch prenatal detection rate exceeds previous reports.
