Figure 1
(A) A barium esophagogram (lateral projection) of a 76-year-old woman, showing an oblique indentation of the posterior esophageal wall (arrow) that suggests extrinsic compression of the esophagus by an aberrant right subclavian artery. (B) Volume-rendered, 3-dimensional computed tomography scan (cranial view) of the aortic arch. The right subclavian artery arises as the last branch from the aortic arch distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. Notice the aneurysmal origin of the aberrant right subclavian artery. RCA = right common carotid artery, LCA = left common carotid artery, LSA = left subclavian artery, aRSA = aberrant right subclavian artery.
