Objective To investigate diagnostic and treatment strategies of patients with congenital heart diseases and right aortic arch. Methods Clinical data of 27 children who underwent surgical correction for congenital heartdiseases and right aortic arch in Children’s Heart Center of Beijing Children’s Hospital from January 1，2012 to April 1，2013 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 20 male and 7 female patients with their age of 10.96±12.08 months and body weight of 7.70±3.13 kg. All the patients had right aortic arch，including 14 children with tetralogy of Fallot，9 childrenwith ventricular septal defect，1 child with patent ductus arteriosus，1 child with pulmonary artery sling and 2 children with isolated double aortic arch. Thirteen children were found to have a vascular ring including aberrant left subclavian artery and double aortic arch. All the patients received surgical correction for their intracardiac anomalies and concomitant transposition of the left subclavian artery for aberrant left subclavian artery or division of the nondominal arch for double aortic arch. Results Three children died perioperatively including 1 child who was unable to be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass，1 child without vascular ring who died 7 days postoperatively，and 1 child with double aortic arch who died of acuterespiratory distress syndrome. There was another child who gave up further postoperative treatment. Twenty-three children were followed up for 3-17 months after discharge. Echocardiography showed satisfactory correction of their intracardiac anomalies. All the patients alive recovered well with good pulses in arteries of both arms. Conclusion Careful strategiesare needed for surgical correction of patients with congenital heart diseases and concomitant right aortic arch. Comprehensivepreoperative evaluation including contrast-enhanced CT and magnetic resonance imaging is helpful for clinical decision making in diagnosis and treatment. Clinical outcomes of 1-stage surgical correction of vascular ring and other concomitant intracardiac anomalies are satisfactory with good short-term results.
