Subclavian artery-esophageal fistula is a rare but potentially fatal vascular anomaly. Inherent to Downs syndrome, trisomy 21 presents with a variety of rare cardiac and vascular anomalies. Subclavian-esophageal fistulae are rare and often fatal complications of a right-sided aortic arch.

Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) combined with a right-sided aortic arch (RAA) and an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly causing significant compressive dysphagia. Treatment options, including open surgery, thoracic endovascular aortic repair and hybrid approaches, are debated due to anatomical complexities. We report a 48-year-old female with dysphagia from symptomatic KD, RAA and ALSA, clearly delineated by preoperative computed tomography angiography.

The transradial approach (TRA) is gaining popularity in neuroendovascular therapy due to its safety and patient comfort, but its application in emergency settings with complex vascular anatomy remains technically demanding. This study assessed the feasibility and safety of using the 6 Fr FUBUKI XF long guiding sheath-a non-radial-specific device-for neuroendovascular procedures via TRA. Nineteen consecutive patients treated with the FUBUKI XF long guiding sheath between April 2024 and June 2025 were retrospectively reviewed and compared with a small cohort treated using the radial-specific Rist guiding sheath during the same period.

Background: A vascular ring arises during the development of the fetal arches and is often associated with a double aortic arch or right-sided aorta, an aberrant left subclavian artery with a posterior esophageal component, and a left-sided ductus arteriosus.

Case Summary: This is a rare vascular ring formed by a left aortic arch, aberrant right subclavian artery, and right ductus arteriosus that was diagnosed prenatally by fetal echocardiography. The 3-vessels and trachea (3VT) view with 2-dimensional and color Doppler sweeps were helpful in defining the vascular pathology.

Rare anatomical variation: analysis of an aberrant right subclavian artery in three cadavers.

An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a congenital vascular anomaly in which the right subclavian artery originates directly from the aortic arch distal to the left subclavian artery. Although often asymptomatic, ARSA can lead to clinical complications, such as dysphagia, upper respiratory issues, and vascular events. In this study, we examined the gross anatomical and histological characteristics of the ARSA based on three cadavers selected from a total of 7 ARSA cases identified among 3,158 specimens dissected between 1948 and 2024 at Nihon University School of Medicine (overall incidence: 0.
