An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) from a left-sided aortic arch (LAA) is rare. A novel surgical technique using left heart bypass and axillary-to-subclavian bypass safely managed an ARSA aneurysm, avoiding major aortic arch replacement.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery

Background:

  • Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) arising from a left-sided aortic arch (LAA) is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • Aneurysms associated with ARSA, particularly those involving Kommerell's diverticulum, present unique surgical challenges.
  • Optimal surgical management strategies for ARSA aneurysms require careful consideration of anatomical variations.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old gentleman presented with an aneurysm of an aberrant right subclavian artery originating from a left-sided aortic arch.
  • The aneurysm was associated with Kommerell's diverticulum, necessitating a tailored surgical approach.
  • Standard surgical options might involve extensive aortic arch reconstruction.

Findings:

  • A safe and effective surgical technique was employed for ARSA aneurysm management.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The procedure involved exclusion of the aneurysm using left heart bypass.
  • Concomitant right axillary to right subclavian artery (RSCA) bypass was performed.
  • This approach successfully managed the aneurysm without requiring aortic arch replacement.

    • Implications:

    • This technique offers a less invasive alternative for managing ARSA aneurysms.
    • It demonstrates the feasibility of preserving native aortic arch structures.
    • The described method provides a valuable option for complex vascular reconstructions in patients with aortic arch anomalies.
