Abstract

Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a rare anomaly, in which the right subclavian artery arises directly from the aortic arch instead of originating from the brachiocephalic artery. This anomaly should be taken into consideration during surgical procedures around the esophagus, such as esophagectomy. Any unintentional injury of this artery during surgical procedures could be extremely life-threatening. The patient was an 88-year-old male, known case of hypertension, CAD, COPD, presented with the chief complaint of chest pain for 2 days associated with the history of right-hand weakness and numbness for 1 week. ECG has done suggestive of Sinus Rhythm with LBBB Trop I – 6.1 ng/ml Coronary Angiography LMCA- Normal LAD- Mid LAD 80% stenosis LCX- Proximal 99-100% occluded RCA- normal CT ANGIO right upper limb done findings revealed anomalous retro esophageal course of right subclavian artery with narrowing at its origin and a small thrombus in juxta osteal segment. Thrombus of 6.7 cm long segment of the distal third of right brachial artery with the reformation of brachial artery at the level of elbow joint along with thrombosis of right ulnar artery at a short distance from its origin.
