A 36-year old woman presented with a 5-year history of progressive dysphagia. The barium swallow of the oesophagus revealed an oblique extrinsic defect consistent with an aberrant right subclavian artery. A computed tomography angiogram confirmed the diagnosis. Surgical correction is indicated for dysphagia lusoria in association with an aberrant right subclavian artery. The patient underwent surgical repair through the right supraclavicular approach, which provided a good exposure. We describe the use of this approach, which avoids the possible complications of thoracotomy or sternotomy in the surgical management of dysphagia lusoria.

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.

Dysphagia is a condition whose prevalence increases with age and can have multiple causes. The differential diagnosis of dysphagia is crucial for its management and therapeutic guidance. The existence of an aberrant right subclavian artery can be a cause of dysphagia in adults.

Esophageal pathologies can exhibit extremely low incidence and prevalence rates. Therefore, it is essential to have multidisciplinary teams including surgeons specialized in esophageal pathology, with a high caseload, to ensure proper diagnosis and management. This manuscript presents a series of esophageal pathology cases with favorable outcomes and atypical resolution for non-specialized groups.
