Abstract

A case of dysphagia lusoria with unusual associated symptoms in an adult is presented. The condition was treated by division of the aberrant right subclavian artery at its origin through a median sternotomy and translocating the distal subclavian artery to the aortic arch with an interposition Dacron graft. All the reported techniques of dividing and transposing the aberrant right subclavian artery in dysphagia lusoria are reviewed and discussed.
