title: Aneurysm of an aberrant right subclavian artery successfully excluded by a thoracic aortic stent graft with supra-aortic bypass of three arch vessels.
abstract: An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) arising from a left-sided aortic arch is the fourth most common aortic arch anomaly. Aneurysmal dilatation of the ARSA requires treatment because of the associated risk of rupture. We present a case where supra-aortic bypass of the arch vessels was performed to facilitate exclusion of the aneurysm by a thoracic aortic stent graft.
