The aberrant subclavian artery.

Aberrant left subclavian artery.

This paper describes a rare case in which the left subclavian artery originates from a common stem arising from the aortic arch and splits into a brachiocephalic trunk and a left subclavian artery. The course of other large vessels of the aortic arch in this case are typical.

Right subclavian steal associated with aberrant right subclavian artery.

The subclavian steal syndrome is a well-recognized clinical and radiographic entity that involves the left subclavian artery far more commonly than the right. Atherosclerotic stenoses are the most common underlying cause [1-3]. Right subclavian stenosis with associated steal is markedly less common. Although an aberrant right subclavian artery is one of the most common anomalies of the great ve...

The aberrant right subclavian artery and dysphagia lusoria.

The aortic arch (AA) gives rise to the brachiocephalic trunk, the left subclavian artery and the left common carotid artery in 80% of individuals. In 1794, Bayford associated dysphagia in a female patient with the existence of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) and defined it as dysphagia lusus naturae (capricious nature). It is the most common congenital anomaly of the AA. ARSA origina...

Aneurysm of the aberrant right subclavian artery – a case report

BACKGROUND The right subclavian artery, originating not from the brachiocephalic trunk but directly from the aortic arch, is a rare anatomical abnormality. 'Arteria lusoria' is the accepted name of the retroesophageal right subclavian artery. Such a vessel location, between the vertebral column and the esophagus, determines its course to the right. This defect may be asymptomatic, found during ...
