Purpose: To report thoracic aortic stent-graft repair in a patient with abnormal aortic arch anatomy.
Case Report: An anomalous right subclavian artery was covered with a stent-graft in a 38-year-old woman being treated for a false aneurysm after coarctation repair. The right arm became relatively ischemic, but was viable and managed conservatively.
Conclusions: Aneurysms close to left or aberrant right subclavian arteries can be safely and effectively treated by endoluminal repair without the need for revascularization procedures; ischemic symptoms that develop are often mild and transient.

Management of Anomalous Left Vertebral Artery During Open Total Arch Replacement.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, Northwestern University Feinberg School Medicine, Chicago, Illinois.
Background: An anomalous left vertebral artery (aLVA) can complicate aortic arch surgery. We examined the safety of various aLVA revascularization strategies during open total arch replacement.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 92 patients undergoing total arch replacement from January 2018 to May 2023 and identified 11 patients with aLVA.
Rare case of dysphagia lusoria due to an anomalous vertebral artery originating from the aortic arch.

Dysphagia lusoria is a rare condition characterized by swallowing difficulties due to vascular compression of the esophagus. While most commonly caused by an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), other vascular anomalies can also lead to this condition. We present a unique case of dysphagia lusoria in a 20-year-old Ethiopian male, caused by a vertebral artery originating anomalously from the aortic arch.

Objective: To elucidate the short- and long-term mortality, morbidity, and endoleak incidences in the hybrid management of aberrant subclavian artery (ASA).
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 99 articles comprising = 272 cases using PRISMA were supplemented by Cohen's Kappa for assessor consistency. The analysis involved a random-effect model, odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals, tests of heterogeneity, and probability.
Anomalous Origin of the Right Subclavian Artery from the Right Pulmonary Artery in a Patient with d-Transposition of the Great Arteries: Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment.
World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Ukrainian Children's Cardiac Center, Kyiv, Ukraine.
Anomalous origin of the right subclavian artery (AORSA) from the right pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly usually diagnosed by computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or angiography. We present a very rare case of diagnosis and surgical correction of AORSA coexisting with d-transposition of the great arteries in a newborn's first hours of life. Due to the critical local hospital and patient conditions, additional cross-sectional imaging was not feasible.

- The study investigates how the development of branches of the subclavian artery is influenced by the anatomy of the proximal artery and surrounding structures, particularly in response to blood flow stress.
- A case of an aberrant right subclavian artery arising from the aorta and unusual branching patterns was reported, revealing types H and CG of the Adachi-Williams classification.
- Findings indicate that while the aberrant artery's development can impact blood flow in the region, normal distal branching suggests that proximal and distal vascular development can operate independently, adapting to anomalies.
