Abstract

COBOS-GONZALEZ, Ernesto et al. Hybrid treatment of dysphagia lusoria: right carotid to subclavian bypass and endovascular insertion of an Amplatzer II Vascular Plug. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2016, vol.108, n.12, pp.835-837. ISSN 1130-0108.  https://dx.doi.org/10.17235/reed.2016.4121/2015.

Compression of the esophagus by a retroesophageal aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is a rare cause of dysphagia. We present the case of a 47-year-old female with symptoms of progressive dysphagia diagnosed with dysphagia lusoria using barium swallow and contrast computed tomography and successfully treated with a hybrid procedure: right carotid to subclavian bypass and endovascular insertion of an Amplatzer II Vascular Plug through the right superficial femoral artery. We consider this approach safer, less invasive and more complete to avoid recurrent dysphagia.

Keywords : Dysphagia; Lusoria; Aberrant; Subclavian; Endovascular; Hybrid.
