Abstract
This article presents a rare clinical observation of the patient 8 years with symptomatic aberrant right subclavian artery with no
aneurism changes and the absence of other anomalies of the aortic arch. The patient underwent a two-stage surgical treatment: the
first stage – the implantation of the right subclavian artery into the right common carotid artery by supraclavicular approach, the second
stage – resection of the retroesophageal part of the right subclavian artery from a left thoracotomy.
