이상 우쇄골하동맥에 대한 수술 1예 치험

The case of a 40-year-old male with symptom related to a anomalous right subclavian artery [dysphagia lusorium] combined with thymoma is described. He was treated by removal of the thymoma and resection of the retroesophageal right subclavian artery with anastomosis of its distal end to the ascending aortic arch by Gore-Tex. This procedure relieved the dysphagia and provided the right arm with normal arterial circulation.
