Key result
Ascending-to-descending extra-anatomic bypass successfully treats right cervical aortic arch obstruction.
Why the study?
Right cervical aortic arch is a rare malformation in which a right-sided aortic arch is unusually long, forms a loop, descends, and crosses behind the oesophagus to continue as a left descending aorta.

Describes the surgical management and long-term follow-up of a rare right cervical aortic arch with epiaortic vessel anomalies and aortic obstruction using an ascending-to-descending aorta extra-anatomic bypass graft.
Right cervical aortic arch is a rare malformation in which a right-sided aortic arch is unusually long, forms a loop, descends, and crosses behind the oesophagus to continue as a left descending aorta. We present a case of right cervical aortic arch associated with anomaly of epiaortic vessels and aortic obstruction, surgically treated with extra-anatomic bypass graft between ascending and descending aorta.

Cavalla et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Right cervical aortic arch with anomaly of epiaortic vessels and haemodynamically significant aortic obstruction (n=1). Extra-anatomic bypass graft between ascending and descending aorta was evaluated. Extra-anatomic bypass graft between the ascending and descending aorta was used to surgically treat 1 patient with a right cervical aortic arch and aortic obstruction.
