title: Successful repair of aberrant right subclavian artery aneurysm combined with bicuspid aortic valve through a median sternotomy.
abstract: We report a case of a successfully repaired aberrant right subclavian artery aneurysm combined with bicuspid aortic valve using a multibranched vascular prosthesis. Approaching solely through a median sternotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass, hypothermic circulatory arrest, and selective cerebral perfusion, we performed a successful single-stage correction by aortic valve replacement, resection of aneurysm, and reconstruction of the right subclavian artery.
