A rare case of thoracic pain caused by aberrant right subclavian artery dissection was successfully treated with endovascular stent-graft. This highlights the importance of advanced imaging for diagnosing thoracic artery dissection.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Essential hypertension is a common condition.
  • Thoracic pain can have various causes, including vascular emergencies.
  • Aberrant right subclavian artery (anomalous origin of the right subclavian artery) is a rare congenital anomaly.

Observation:

  • A 75-year-old woman with hypertension presented with sudden, severe thoracic pain.
  • Electrocardiogram revealed a left bundle branch block.
  • Chest X-ray showed a widened upper mediastinum.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography confirmed rupture/dissection of an aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria).
  • The patient underwent successful endovascular stent-graft implantation.

  • This intervention resolved the acute symptoms.

    • Implications:

    • Thoracic pain evaluation should include chest X-ray.
    • Widened mediastinum on imaging warrants further investigation with computed tomography.
    • Prompt diagnosis and endovascular repair are crucial for managing intrathoracic arterial dissection.
