Aneurysmal form of aortoarteritis with aberrant right subclavian artery: diagnosis by Magnetic Resonance Angiography.
Magnetic Resonance Angiography is rapidly advancing as an important imaging modality for vascular disorders. With increasing experience, it bids fair to replace catheter angiography as the diagnostic procedure of choice in select clinical conditions. We report a case of aneurysmal aortoarteritis with renal failure, in which magnetic resonance angiography proved to be a valuable substitute for conventional studies. In addition, the right subclavian artery had an aberrant origin, an unusual association.
