From the case:
Right circumflex aorta

Right-sided aortic arch with left-sided descending aorta. Slight vascular impression along the right side of the trachea.
Case Discussion
Incidental finding in an adult of right-sided ascending aorta which crosses the midline to become a left-sided descending aorta. The differential includes right circumflex aorta and double aortic arch with atresia of the left arch.
The right-sided aortic arch creates an impression along the right aspect of the trachea.
