title: Translocation of aberrant right subclavian artery in dysphagia lusoria in children through a right thoracotomy.
abstract: Anatomical reestablishment of orthograde flow into the right subclavian artery in children with arteria lusoria is emphasized. We present two infants and one young child who were successfully treated by translocation of the aberrant right subclavian artery to the ascending aorta without graft interposition through a right thoracotomy. Several surgical approaches are reviewed.
