  • Title: Aberrant right subclavian artery aneurysm.
    Author: Stoney WS, Alford WC, Burrus GR, Thomas CS.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1975 Apr; 19(4):460-7. PubMed ID: 1122166.
    Abstract:
    Ten patients with aneurysm of an aberrant right subclavian artery have been previously reported. Dysphagia is not commonly part of the initial symptomatology, and the diagnosis is usually established by chest roentgenogram, esophagogram, and aortography. If operative intervention is planned, adequate preparation for bypass and thoracic aortic grafting should be made since the aneurysm may also involve the descending thoracic aorta at the site of origin of the aberrant subclavian artery. Since both ischemia of the involved arm and the subclavian steal syndrome may occur after division of the origin of the subclavian artery, resotration of arterial flow in the distal subclavian artery is preferred. An additional patient is reported in whom right subclavian-to-carotid artery anastomosis was used after the subclavian artery aneurysm was removed.
