RESUMO
The combination of the right aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) with Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) is rare to coexist with the left innominate vein (LINV) beneath the aortic arch. It escalates the surgical risk undoubtedly and increases the difficulty of clinical procedures. We report one case diagnosed by Ultrasound and Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA).

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness and safety of neurological interventions using the right transradial approach (R-TRA) in patients with aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed cases that underwent cerebral angiography and interventions at Huangpi District People's Hospital from January 2023 to July 2023. Out of 335 cases, 5 patients with ARSA were identified. RESULTS: All 5 cases underwent diagnostic cerebral angiography via R-TRA. Two of the patients received interventions via R-TRA: 1 underwent right internal carotid artery balloon dilation angioplasty, while another underwent left vertebral artery stenting. No surgery-related complications were observed during these procedures. CONCLUSIONS: R-TRA proves to be a safe and effective option for neuro-interventional surgery in patients with ARSA.

PURPOSE: A right aortic arch (RAA) is a rare vascular anomaly that often coexists with an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA). Due to the rarity of RAA, the development of an ALSA is not well understood. METHOD: We describe a case in which a 58-year-old man who was scheduled to undergo posterior decompression and fusion surgery for thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament from Th1 to Th3 was found to have a RAA and an ALSA. RESULTS: Preoperative computed tomography angiography demonstrated a RAA and an ALSA. The ALSA was extremely tortuous and ran in the paraspinal muscles behind the thoracic laminae, which meant it was in the surgical field. The ALSA arose from the descending aorta and bifurcated into the left segmental arteries of Th1 and Th2, and also bifurcated into the left vertebral artery, which had a normal subsequent course. The dysplastic ALSA was considered to have developed from the thoracic intersegmental artery. Based on preoperative examination findings, we performed spinal surgery without vessel injury. CONCLUSION: We report a rare case of a dysplastic ALSA that developed from the thoracic intersegmental artery with a RAA. The knowledge of this anomaly provides safety in spinal surgery of the cervicothoracic junction.

PURPOSE: This study aims to explore the correlation between fetal aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) and chromosomal disorders, with a specific focus on Down syndrome and DiGeorge syndrome. METHODS: From November 2017 to February 2020, we conducted fetal anomaly screening and assessed the fetal heart in 8494 at our institution. The right subclavian artery tracing was assessed using Doppler ultrasonography following the 3-vessel and tracheal views (3VTV) in the fetal heart scan. RESULTS: ARSA was found in 31 fetuses, which accounts for 0.36% of the total of 8494 fetuses. 96.8% of fetuses with ARSA were found to have normal chromosomal analysis. We identified only one case of trisomy 21 as the chromosomal condition present. In 80% of the identified ARSA, there were no additional associated findings. CONCLUSION: ARSA is a rare condition that often does not manifest any concomitant abnormalities. The majority of ARSA instances identified in the second trimester are euploid. If ARSA is the only sonographic finding during fetal anomaly screening and there are no maternal or laboratory risk factors, further evaluation with non-invasive diagnostics may be recommended. Non-invasive genetic testing may be used for additional investigation.

Introduction: Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is the most common of the aortic arch anomalies, occurring in .5% to 1% of the population. There is no standardized follow up protocol, especially in the asymptomatic cases. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the natural history of ARSA and the role of serial CT scans. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study of patients with ARSA depicted on chest computed tomography (CT) scans between February 2013 and July 2022. Data were collected from their medical records. Measurements of the aorta at different segments including the aortic diameter at the orifice of ARSA, and ARSA at ostium followed by 1 cm intervals were collected, as well as for follow-up CT scans. Results: 65 patients were diagnosed with ARSA, 70.8% of whom were women. The average age for the cohort was 58.569 ± 16.99 years. The median follow up time was 4 years (range 0-10 years), KM estimated survival after ARSA diagnosis at 1 and 5 years as 97% and 93%, respectively. Nineteen patients had a second CT scan and were included in the morphological CT dynamic analysis, on average of 29 ± 27 months apart (range 7-108). The mean ARSA diameter at origin was larger in the second scan 16.91 ± 4.31 mm compared to the initial scan 16.31 ± 4.96 mm, (P = .04).The mean aortic arch diameter in the first and second CT were 28.54 ± 4.24 and 29.64 ± 5.14 (P = .10), respectively. All other measurements did not disclose any significant enlargement over time. Conclusions: Our cohort demonstrate a benign natural history of ARSA with slow growth rates. However, due to our small sample size we can't draw a clinically sound recommendation on the need for imaging follow up, and further larger cohort with longer follow up interval are required.

Surgical repair of right aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery has traditionally involved ligamentum division. Such patients can have stenosis at the origin of the aberrant subclavian artery either at the time of presentation or later. The more recently popularized repair involving resection of Kommerell diverticulum with transfer of the subclavian artery to the left carotid artery allows resection of the stenotic segment and serves as an effective treatment for subclavian stenosis as well. We present three cases of early repair of this arch anomaly with associated subclavian stenosis repaired successfully in that manner.

Right sided aortic arches with concomitant aberrant left subclavian arteries are exceedingly rare anatomical variants. We present a case of a 45 year old male that presented with symptoms consistent with dysphagia and known right sided aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery. Though previous reports of repair have indeed been reported, we confirm that a hybrid approach to these anatomic variants remain feasible and with symptom resolution for patients.

BACKGROUND: Symptoms, imaging characteristics, and early and midterm surgical outcomes for aberrant subclavian arteries (ASCA) are not well defined in the adult population. METHODS: A single-institution retrospective review was conducted of adults undergoing surgical repair of ASCA and descending aorta origin/Kommerell diverticulum (KD) from January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2021. Symptom improvement and differences in imaging characteristics between anatomic groups and the number of symptoms were assessed. RESULTS: Mean age was 46 ± 17 years. There were 23 of 37 left aortic arches with right ASCA (62%) and 14 of 37 right aortic arches with left ASCA (38%). Of these, 31 of 37 (84%) were symptomatic, and 19 of 37 (51%) had KD size/growth meeting criteria for surgical repair. KD aortic origin diameter was larger in more symptomatic patients: 20.60 mm (interquartile range [IQR], 16.42-30.68 mm) in patients with ≥3 symptoms vs 22.05 mm (IQR, 17.52-24.21 mm) for 2 symptoms vs 13.72 mm (IQR, 12.70-15.95 mm) for 1 symptom (P = .018). Aortic replacement was required in 22 of 37 (59%). There were no early deaths. Complications occurred in 11 of 37 (30%): vocal cord dysfunction (4 of 37 [11%]), chylothorax (3 of 37 [8%]), Horner syndrome (2 of 37 [5%]), spinal deficit (2 of 37 [5%]), stroke (1 of 37 [3%]), and temporary dialysis requirement (1 of 37 [3%]). Over a median follow-up of 2.3 years (IQR, 0.8-3.9 years), there was 1 endovascular reintervention and no reoperations. Dysphagia and shortness of breath resolved in 92% and 89%, respectively, whereas gastroesophageal reflux persisted in 47%. CONCLUSIONS: The KD aortic origin diameter correlates with the number of symptoms, and surgical repair of ASCA and descending aorta origin/KD effectively relieves symptoms, with low rates of reintervention. Given the operative complexity, surgical repair should be performed in patients meeting size criteria or with significant dysphagia or shortness of breath symptoms.

Aberrant right subclavian artery, also called arteria lusoria, is the most common congenital anomaly of the aortic arch (prevalence 0,5-1.8 %). Patients with trisomy 21 have a higher prevalence (35 %). It takes its origin from the aortic arch after the three others supra-aortic trunks. It may be associated with other cardiovascular anomalies. In more than 80 % of cases, the aberrant artery is positioned behind the oesophagus. It is often asymptomatic. Sometimes it is associated with symptoms after the age of 40 years old, more often among women: dysphagia (dysphagia lusoria), dyspnoea or cough. Diagnosis is made by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. When it is symptomatic, a barium contrast radiography of the oesophagus is indicated. Surgical treatment by transposition of the aberrant vessel is performed only for symptomatic patients. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with dysphagia lusoria treated by transposition of the aberrant right subclavian artery into the right common carotid through a cervical approach.
L'artère sous-clavière droite aberrante, appelée aussi arteria lusoria, est l'anomalie congénitale de l'arc aortique la plus fréquente (prévalence 0,5-1,8 %). Les patients atteints de trisomie 21 ont une prévalence plus élevée (35 %). Elle prend son origine sur la crosse aortique après les trois autres troncs supra-aortiques. Elle peut être associée à d'autres anomalies cardiovasculaires. Dans plus de 80 % des cas, l'artère aberrante est positionnée derrière l'Åsophage. Elle est souvent asymptomatique. Elle est parfois associée à des symptômes après l'âge de 40 ans, plus souvent chez les femmes : dysphagie (dysphagia lusoria), dyspnée ou toux. Le diagnostic se fait par tomodensitométrie ou résonance magnétique nucléaire. Lorsqu'elle est symptomatique, un examen radiographique avec contraste baryté de l'Åsophage est indiqué. Le traitement chirurgical par transposition du vaisseau aberrant n'est réalisé que pour les patients symptomatiques. Nous rapportons le cas d'une patiente de 50 ans souffrant de dysphagia lusoria traitée par transposition de l'artère sous-clavière droite aberrante dans la carotide primitive droite par abord cervical.

BACKGROUND: This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of color ultrasound screening for fetal cardiovascular abnormalities during the second trimester in China. METHODS: A literature search was conducted to evaluate the clinical value of color ultrasound screening for fetal cardiovascular abnormalities during the second trimester using English and Chinese databases. Numerical values for sensitivity and specificity were obtained from false-negative, false-positive, true-negative, and true-positive rates, presented alongside graphical representations with boxes marking the values and horizontal lines showing the confidence intervals. Summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves were applied to assess the performance of the diagnostic tests. Data were processed using Review Manager 5.3. RESULTS: Four studies (151 patients with fetal cardiovascular abnormalities and 3397 undiagnosed controls) met our evaluation criteria. The sensitivity was 0.91 and 0.96, respectively, and the specificity was 1.00. The Area Under the Curve (AUC) from the SROC curves was >90%; therefore, it was classified as excellent. Furthermore, there were 6 types of fetal cardiovascular abnormalities, and the pooled screening rate of atrioventricular septal defects was the highest. CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis showed that the use of color ultrasound during the second trimester can be an excellent diagnostic tool for fetal cardiovascular abnormalities.

BACKGROUND: Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a rare condition, but the most common anomaly of the aortic arch. Although neurointerventions via transradial access (TRA) are becoming increasingly popular worldwide, transradial carotid cannulation has been extremely challenging in patients with an ARSA. Herein, we present a case of ARSA-associated anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm that was successfully treated with a radial-specific 6F Simmons guiding sheath via left TRA. We also review the relevant literature. METHODS: A 68-year-old-woman who was diagnosed as having an ARSA-associated ACoA aneurysm underwent simple coiling via left TRA. After the 6F Simmons guiding sheath was engaged into the right common carotid artery using the pull-back-technique, transradial quadraxial system (6F Simmons guiding sheath/6F intermediate catheter/3.2F intermediate catheter/coil-delivery microcatheter) was implemented. RESULTS: Simple coiling of the aneurysm was successfully achieved without catheter kinking or system instability. The postprocedural course was uneventful. A follow-up magnetic resonance angiography showed no evidence of recanalization 1 years 9 months after the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Transradial anterior circulation intervention has been rarely used for patients with an ARSA due to unfavorable catheter trajectory. Left TRA using the 6F Simmons guiding sheath is a useful treatment option to address anterior circulation interventions for patients with an ARSA. Preoperative diagnosis of ARSA is necessary for the application of our method.

The aberrant right subclavian artery (i.e., arteria lusoria) arising from the left part of the aortic arch is a rare congenital anomaly. In some patients, esophageal compression may cause symptoms of dysphagia, also called dysphagia lusoria. It can cause serious feeding disorders and poor weight gain in young children. We present the case of an early onset of dysphagia lusoria in a 1-month-old girl whose clinical diagnosis was confirmed by esophagography and magnetic resonance imaging. This kind of vascular anomaly can present a diagnostic challenge and should be considered in diagnosing dysphagia in childhood.

BACKGROUND: Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) with a right aortic arch (RAA) and aberrant left subclavian artery (aLSCA) is a rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch. Treatment is not well defined due to its uncommon presentation, with rupture and dissection risk rates of up to 53%. CASE SUMMARY: A 54-year-old male with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypertension presented with difficulty breathing during exercise without dysphagia. Follow-up computerized tomography angiogram (CTA) revealed the presence of a RAA and aLSCA arising from the descending thoracic aorta with an adjacent 58 × 41-mm KD and tracheal and esophageal displacement. Due to the size of the KD, risk of rupture, unsuitable anatomy for total endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), and high COPD burden, the patient was planned to undergo a hybrid surgical repair. Left common carotid (LCCA) artery to LSCA bypass, full aortic debranching, LSCA embolization and percutaneous thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) were performed. Successful device position and exclusion of the diverticulum and aneurysmal aorta were observed after completion thoracic aortogram. 18-month follow-up CTA demonstrated patency of the LSCA to LCCA bypass graft and arch vessel branches, as well as stable exclusion of the KD. Persistence of a type II endoleak originated at the right first posterior intercostal artery has been noted and is being followed conservatively since no sac growth has occurred. CONCLUSION: We highlight the presence of a KD with RAA and aberrant subclavian artery, a rare congenital anatomic variation of the aortic arch with complex anatomy. Surgical planning must be individualized according to comorbidities and anatomical variations identified on imaging and 3D reconstructions.

BACKGROUND: The occurrence of Isolated left subclavian artery (ILSA) is relatively rare, ILSA is caused by the persistence of the dorsal segment of the sixth left arch, with regression of the fourth arch artery and interruption of the left dorsal aorta at the distal end of the seventh intersegmental artery on the left side during embryonic development. The left subclavian artery is connected to the pulmonary artery through an arterial duct, which can be closed or unobstructed. This abnormality can lead to congenital subclavian steal syndrome and vertebrobasilar artery insufficiency. CASE PRESENTATION: We reported three fetuses with ILSA and intracardiac malformation. Among them, one case was suspected to be diagnosed with ILSA by echocardiography, while the other two cases were not diagnosed, but were accidentally discovered during autopsy. We have also conducted a literature review of its prenatal screening, diagnosis, management, and outcomes. Our three cases were tested by WES-Trio (whole exome sequencing). Worldwide, the ILSA cases reported in English literature have not been detected by WES. And likely pathogenic results were found in our two cases. Although it could not explain the intracardiac malformation we found, it will help to explore the etiology in the future. CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal echocardiography detection and diagnosis of ILSA is a new challenge, which has different effects on the prognosis of the fetus. When finding intracardiac malformation with right aortic arch, we need to perform an unconventional view of ultrasound scanning and combine with CDFI to find the origin of the left subclavian artery. Although we cannot find the cause of the disease temporarily, but our genetic results can help prenatal genetic counseling.

A 45-year-old man complaining of chest and back pain due to acute aortic dissection was referred to our department. A contrast enhanced computed tomography( CT) scan showed Stanford type B aortic dissection with Kommerell diverticulum and aberrant right subclavian artery. The patient underwent antihypertensive treatment for one month. Despite the successful treatment, CT scan revealed a 5 mm false lumen dilatation in this period. We decided to close the primary entry. The operation was performed through median sternotomy;after establishing cardio-pulmonary bypass, the ostium of the aberrant right subclavian artery( ARSA) was sutured closed and anastomosed the ARSA and right common carotid artery. Total arch replacement was performed using frozen elephant trunk technique. His postoperative course was uneventful.
