Endovascular treatment of aberrant right subclavian (lusorian) artery to oesophagus fistula: a case report

Vasc Endovascular Surg. 2008 Aug-Sep;42(4):394-6. doi: 10.1177/1538574408315993.

Abstract

The creation of a fistula between the subclavian artery and the oesophagus is extremely rare. All the reported cases of subclavian oesophagus-arterial fistulae have been described either in aberrant subclavian arteries or as caused by foreign bodies in the oesophagus. In this article, a case of fistulous communication between an aberrant right subclavian and the oesophagus managed with the positioning of endovascular prosthesis is presented.
