Right aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery and aortic coarctation including a descending aortic aneurysm

Abstract

Backround: The right aortic arch and aortic coarctation are rare congenital anomalies with the incidence of 0.1% and 0.03-0.04%. We present a case report of a 51-year-old woman with the right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery and coarctation of the aorta with post-stenotic aneurysm. Case presentation: Resection of the coarctation and aneurysm with replacement by tubular prosthesis was performed on partial cardiopulmonary bypass via femoral vessels. Conclusion: Partial cardiopulmonary bypass is an applicable method for ensuring the perfusion of the distal part of the body and an aberrant left subclavian artery is not a contraindication of this technique.
