Abstract

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical division of obstructive congenital vascular rings has been demonstrated to be a safe technique in the setting of right-sided or double aortic arch, requiring a left-sided thoracic approach. This report describes 2 cases of aberrant right subclavian artery division using right video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and subclavian-carotid transposition. This approach is safe and feasible in the management of symptomatic aberrant right subclavian artery without the morbidity of a thoracotomy incision, although patients require ongoing surveillance.
