  • Title: Novel approaches for the treatment of the aberrant right subclavian artery and its aneurysms.
    Author: Shennib H, Diethrich EB.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2008 May; 47(5):1066-70. PubMed ID: 18455647.
    Abstract:
    We report a minimally invasive, hybrid endovascular approach that was used to treat two patients with aberrant right subclavian arteries. The first patient was a 50-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia lusoria. She underwent endovascular plugging and depressurization of the aberrant artery and a carotid-subclavian bypass using right supraclavicular access. The second patient, a 77-year-old woman who presented with a 5.5-cm aneurysm at the origin of a previously bypassed aberrant artery on the distal aortic arch, was treated using bilateral carotid-subclavian bypasses through neck incisions and a thoracic endoluminal graft exclusion of the arch aneurysm that covered both subclavian arteries.
