J Card Surg. 2014 Mar;29(2):234-7. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12257. Epub 2013 Nov 25.

Abstract

Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is the most common anomaly of the aortic arch. We describe two cases of patients affected by complex lesions of the aortic arch with the ARSA, both treated with the frozen elephant trunk technique and reconstruction of the ARSA.
