A case of symptomatic aberrant right subclavian artery.
Aberrant right subclavian artery is one of the aortic arch anomalies which is almost always asymptomatic. A 27-year-old lady, from Asebe Teferi, presented with dysphagia of eight months duration. Physical examination revealed no abnormality. Barium swallow and post Intravenous-contrast computerized tomography (CT) scan showed aberrant right subclavian artery. She was operated via the approach of left thoracotomy. The aberrant right subclavian was legated, brought anterior to trachea and reimplanted to the left stubclavian artery. She had uneventful postoperative course and discharged symptom free.
