His chest X-ray showed a right-sided paratracheal opacification. A thoracic CT (Figure 1 and Video 1) was subsequently performed to better characterize the radiographic findings.

At post-mortem a right subclavian artery was identified passing aberrantly from a left-sided aortic arch behind the oesophagus, causing the woman's dysphagia. Dr Bayford referred to this extraordinary disposition ofthe right subclavian art...
متن کاملHybrid endovascular repair of aneurysmal right-sided aortic arch and Kommerell’s diverticulum using a two-vessel branched stent graft: Case report and review of literature
Right-sided aortic arches are rare, affecting approximately 0.1% of the population. They are a result of abnormal development of the primitive aortic arches and may present later in life with later life with aneurysmal expansion of the aberrant left subclavian artery 'Kommerell's diverticulum'. These can be challenging to treat effectively. We report a rare case presenting with mild dysphagia a...

A 77-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our hospital with difficulty swallowing solid food and weight loss during the past 2 years. She did not drink alcohol or smoke. Her physical examination and her past medical history were unremarkable. Radiograph of the chest showed a right-sided aortic arch (Figure 1). A barium esophagogram was performed. A double indentation at the level of the aortic...
متن کاملDouble aortic arch in an adult.
We present the case of a 60-year old man who complained of severe dysphagia caused by a double aortic arch (DAA) with a right-sided descending thoracic aorta. The left-sided aortic arch had a compressive segment located between the left subclavian artery and the descending thoracic aorta. Using left third thoracotomy, the segment, which caused compression of the oesophagus, was ligated and divi...
متن کاملA Rare Variation of Right Subclavian Artery Origin from Posterior Surface of Aortic Arch
Purpose: Several variations of aortic arch have been reported yet. In present study another variation of aortic arch was reported. Right subclavian artery arises from posterior surface of the distal end of the aortic arch. Case Report: we present a variation of an aorticarch in which right subclavian artery arisesfrom posterior surface of the distal end of the aortic arch and passing behind eso...
