title: Aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria) challenging 4-French homolateral transradial coronary catheterisation in adulthood.
abstract: We report a case of an accidental finding of an aberrant right subclavian artery diagnosed in an adult man during a 4-French coronary angiography performed by right transradial access, then confirmed by multi-slice computed tomography. Tips and tricks have been suggested to complete the 4-French procedure avoiding changing the vascular access.
