AbstractAn aberrant right subclavian artery arising from a left aortic arch is the most frequently described congenital aortic arch anomaly, occurring in 0.5 to 2.3% of the general population. Despite the retro-oesophageal course of the aberrant subclavian artery, an arterio-oesophageal fistula is an uncommon finding, only previously reported as a very rare complication in critically ill patients with oesophageal instrumentation or foreign body ingestion. We describe a unique case of a spontaneous aberrant right subclavian arterio-oesophageal fistula without an inciting event in a 17-month-child.

The Right

An aberrant right subclavian artery is a congenital aortic arch anomaly in which the right subclavian artery originates from the proximal descending aorta. The presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery can make right transradial coronary interventions more difficult and even lead to complications. Iatrogenic intramural hematomas and dissection of aberrant right subclavian arteries during transradial coronary angiography have been previously reported. We herein report a case of iatrogenic aortic dissection following attempts to perform right transradial coronary angiography in a patient with an aberrant right subclavian artery. Clinicians should be vigilant for the presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery during right transradial coronary angiography and ensure gentle manipulation of wires and catheters to avoid complications.

An aberrant right subclavian artery is the commonest aortic arch anomaly. Majority of them were asymptomatic. An aberrant subclavian artery is a rare cause of dysphagia in adults. This condition is also known as dysphagia lusoria. We report a case of dysphagia in a 49-year-old woman from an aberrant right subclavian artery. Diagnosis of her condition was made with barium swallow and MDCT (multidetector computed tomography) scan. She was managed conservatively.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to explore echocardiographic views and methods of aortic arch anomalies in infants, so as to improve the screening sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy. Methods 140 children with abnormal aortic arch diagnosed by ultrasound in Children’s Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2014 to December 2019 were selected for retrospective analysis. All were confirmed by surgery or/and computerized tomography angiography. Series of views for aortic arch (the three-vessel and tracheal view, aortic arch short axis view, left aortic arch long axis view, aortic arch long axis continuous scan views) were performed in all cases on the basis of the routine views of echocardiography. The screening sensitivity and diagnostic coincidence rate of different echocardiographic views for aortic arch anomalies were analyzed. Results Among the 140 infants, right aortic arch were 21 cases (6/21 were accompanied by mirror branch and 15/21 were with aberrant left subclavian artery). Left aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery were 2 cases, and double aortic arch with both arches open were 20 cases. Double aortic arch with left arch atresia were 2 cases, and atresia of the proximal aorta with aortic arch dysplasia was 1 case. Coarctation of the aorta were 67 cases, and interruption of aortic arch were 27 cases. All the patients were correctly diagnosed except that 2 infants with interruption of aortic arch were incorrectly diagnosed as coarctation of the aorta, and 1 infant with coarctation of the aorta was misdiagnosed as interruption of aortic arch by echocardiography. The screening sensitivities of four views and four-view combination for abnormal aortic arch were 99.3, 73.6, 87.1, 99.3, and 100%; the diagnostic coincidence rates were 85.7, 27.1,66.4, 95.0%, and 97.9% respectively. On the basis of traditional left aortic long axis view, other three views had their own advantages. The screening sensitivity and diagnostic coincidence rate of four-view combination were significantly improved. Conclusions The three-vessel trachea view is simple and feasible, which is suitable for screening abnormal aortic arch. The combination of four views conduces to improving screening sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of aortic arch abnormalities.

Congenital aortic arch malformations manifest a broad-spectrum of differences and abnormalities that come from disturbed embryogenesis of branchial arches. Current case was a 10 months old baby girl with length of 69 cm (less than –3 SD) and weight of 5.5 kg (less than –3 SD). The patient had history of recurrent lower respiratory tract infections since the time of birth and failure to gain adequate weight since the time of birth. The patient has been having multiple check-ups with registered medical practitioners in the nearby locality and multiple courses of antibiotics with only partial resolution of symptoms. The 2-D echocardiogram showed her to be a case of supracardiac type of “Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR)”. All pulmonary veins making a confluence and draining into the right atrium. Significant turbulence observed at the level of superior vena cava to right atrium junction. A level of obstruction was recorded at the junction of the confluence of pulmonary veins and the vertical vein. There was aberrant right subclavian artery from the aortic arch as its third branch with no obstruction or aneurysm formation, having retrotracheal and esophageal course.

Diverticulum Of Kommerell

Diverticulum of Kommerell is a congenital anomaly in the development of the primitive embryonic aortic vasculature resulting in either an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) from a right-sided aortic arch (RSAA) or an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) from a left-sided aortic arch (LSAA). Kommerell’s diverticulum (KD), is extremely rare in the general population having prevalence of 0.7–2.0 %. KD with true aneurysmal dilatation like any vascular lesion of the thoracic aorta weakens the vasculature and increases the risk of aortic rupture. Timely surgical intervention is of paramount importance in most of these cases. Variable clinical presentations in patients with KD are either a result of compression of some mediastinal organs or strangulation by the vascular ring from the aberrant subclavian artery (ASA). We report a case of a 39 years old Chinese female with a rare co-existence of a huge KD with a microaneurysm, an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), and ventricular septal defect (VSD). She underwent a successful operation and all her pre-surgical symptoms disappeared.

Two cases of aberrant subclavian arteries were detected incidentally during computed tomography scan of the thorax for other medical conditions. The patients did not have weight loss or dysphagia lusoria. The origin and course of theaberrant subclavian arteries are related to the anomaly of the aortic arch. The variations of aberrant right subclavian artery with left aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery with right aortic arch on computed tomography are discussed.Journal of Kathmandu Medical CollegeVol. 3, No. 4, Oct.-Dec., 2014Page: 162-164
