Dysphagia Due to an Aberrant Right Subclavian Artery
|

Abstract
|
|
|
An aberrant right subclavian artery is a rare congenital anomaly that usually does not produce symptoms.
Symptomatic patients require surgical intervention. Ligation of the aberrant artery through a left thoracotomy has been advocated as the operation of choice.
If development of vertebrobasilar insufficiency is anticipated, division and ligation of he aberrant artery and its anastomosis to the right common carotid artery or aortic arch are prformed at a second operation.
Experience with successful surgical treatment of a patient with an aberrant subclavian artery is described.
A right thoracotomy incision was utilized for division of the subclavian artery and for re-estabilis,iment of arterial continuity with Dacron graft.
Postoperative arteriography demonstrated a good reconstruction and normal blood flow was estabilished to the right upper extremity.
