Aberrant right subclavian artery is a rare congenital aortic arch anomaly. We report on a case of type A aortic dissection and aberrant right subclavian artery. The 65-year-old female patient received a replacement of the ascending aorta and arch repair using an uncovered AMDS (Ascyrus Medical Dissection Stent; CryoLife Inc., Kennesaw, GA, USA) with debranching of both common carotid arteries. Postoperative computed tomography scan revealed regular aortic blood flow with the unrestricted carotid artery and aberrant right subclavian artery perfusion.

Aortic arch anomalies represent a range of congenital vascular malformations resulting from disruptions in the typical embryological development of the aortic arch and its branches. These anomalies, which vary widely in their presentation, can lead to significant clinical symptoms depending on their structure and position. We report the case of a 75-year-old male with intermittent hypertension, palpitations, and episodic warmth in the upper body.

Aberrant anatomical variation of the vertebral artery (VA) from an internal carotid artery (ICA) is considered a rare finding. The incidence of this phenomenon can lead to patients suffering from posterior circulation neurological deficit if the ICA becomes significantly diseased. VA atypical anatomical origin is considered one of the rare pathologies, not only precipitating neurovascular incidents but equally leading to severe difficulty in VA dissection and surgical exposure, especially in carotid artery procedures.

Understanding the Mechanisms of Main Bronchial Compression in Patients with Intracardiac Anomalies.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

September 2024

Department of Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery, Kanazawa Medical University, Ishikawaken, Japan.

Background: The study focuses on vascular compression of the main bronchus in the aortopulmonary space, examining potential contributors within the same axial plane. Its goal is to uncover mechanisms of bronchial compression in patients with intracardiac anomalies and review surgical outcomes, aiming to enhance future results.

Methods: The morphology and topology of structures within the axial plane of the aortopulmonary space were objectively analyzed, including the sternum, ascending aorta, heart, pulmonary artery, descending aorta, and other relevant elements.

Single-stage surgical repair of a pre-coarctation aortic arch aneurysm and arteria lusoria.

Interdiscip Cardiovasc Thorac Surg

Cardiovascular Surgery Department, Alain Sisteron Institute, Infirmerie Protestante de Lyon, Caluire-et-Cuire, France.

Managing an adult patient with aortic coarctation and associated anomalies presents a significant surgical challenge. We present a case of an adult male with aortic coarctation, pre-coarctation distal arch 7-cm aneurysm involving the origin of the left subclavian artery, and aberrant (lusoria) right subclavian artery. He was managed with one surgical approach, consisting of right carotid-subclavian bypass, exclusion of the right subclavian artery, proximal descending aortic replacement and reinsertion of left subclavian artery, using partial cardiopulmonary bypass.

Four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow MRI) was utilized to analyze an aortic dissection with an aberrant right subclavian artery, revealing vortex formation and an increased oscillatory shear index (OSI), both indicative of variations in wall shear stress. An elevated OSI has been associated with an elevated risk of aortic dissection.
