Abstract:
Arteria lusoria (AL) is a rare embryological variant that may have variable presentation ranging from asymptomatic to respiratory, abdominal, or both. Increasing incidence of radial access for coronary angiogram may lead to the incidental diagnosis of AL. Knowledge about this anatomical variation is essential for cardiologists, interventional radiologists, otorhinolaryngologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, and primary physicians. The symptomatic patient should undergo definite repair through either surgery or endovascular techniques. We present a case of incidentally diagnosed, asymptomatic AL along with ascending aortic aneurysm while evaluating for ischemic heart disease.
