Computed tomography angiography reveals stenosis and aneurysmal dilation of an aberrant right subclavian artery causing systemic blood pressure misreading in an old Pekinese dog

چکیده
A 14-year-old dog weighing 4 kg presented with hypotension only in the right forelimb. Thoracic radiography revealed a round soft tissue opacity near the aortic arch and below the second thoracic vertebra on a lateral view. Three-dimensional computed tomography angiography clearly revealed stenosis and aneurysmal dilation of an aberrant right subclavian artery. Stenosis and aneurysm of an aberrant subclavian artery should be included as a differential diagnosis in dogs showing a round soft tissue opacity near the aortic arch and below the thoracic vertebra on the lateral thoracic radiograph.

A 31-year-old woman presented with blood pressure somewhat lower on the left compared with the right arm, hyposthenia, and left arm claudication. A vascular ultrasound examination demonstrated the absence of internal left carotid associated with left subclavian artery stenosis. A multidetector computed tomography using a 64-row scanner (Figure 1) confirmed the echographic results and revealed t...

A 66-year-old right-handed man suddenly developed left hemiplegia after an opponent thrust at his neck with a bamboo sword during a practice game of Kendo (Japanese swordsmanship; Figure 1). Fifty minutes later, he visited our emergency service. His blood pressure was 77/55 mm Hg in the left arm but could not be measured in the right arm; his right radial artery was initially pulseless but beca...

The persistent hypoglossal artery is rare vascular anomalies. We report the case of a 50-year old man with right hypoglossal artery, ipsilateral hypoplasic internal carotid artery, associated with left proximal subclavian stenosis with subclavian steal syndrome. Power-Doppler-Ultra-Sonography spectral images obtained after the patient exercised the left arm showed mid-systolic deceleration with...

A 75-year-old Caucasian man presented with a 3-month history of progressive dyspnoea, unrelated to position, with an exercise tolerance of 100 m. He had experienced thrombolysis following an inferior myocardial infarction 8 years previously. Initial diagnosis was cardiac dyspnoea; transthoracic echocardiogram showed moderate left ventricular dysfunction without significant progression from prev...
متن کاملAneurysm 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 ...
