Abstract

A 47-year-old male patient presented with aortic dissection originating from an aberrant right subclavian artery. Intraoperative arteriography showed an anomaly of the aortic arch including a common carotid trunk and an aberrant right subclavian artery. An intimal tear was located in the aberrant right subclavian artery. Dissection retrogradely involved the aortic arch and then anterogradely involved the distal aorta. We treated the patient endovascularly with a Wallgraft endoprosthesis deployed in the aberrant right subclavian artery to seal the entry site. Follow-up computed tomography showed a satisfactory healing process with complete thrombosis in the proximal part of the false lumen.
