Abstract

Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a rare (0.5-1.8% of the population), usually asymptomatic congenital anomaly. We report the three female patients who were successfully treated by surgery of supraclavicular incision. The median age at the operation time was 15 years old (range: 10-18 years). There were no peroperative and postoperative complication. Ulnar and radial tensions were bilaterally normal rate after surgery. There were no difficulties after the postoperative feeding. It may be suggested that end to side anastomosis of ARSA to carotid artery via supraclavicular incision is a feasible and minimal invasive method for children with dysphagia lusoria.
