“…Such is the case of aberrant left subclavian artery, which presented a retroesophageal course pattern compressing the esophagus and generating symptoms that correspond to LD. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] And even more, the study by Quintero-Pérez et al [21] describes an aberrant right internal carotid artery with a retropharyngeal course pattern, which would generate compression of the pharynx and thereby result in symptoms associated with LD. This evidences the need to clarify the proper use of the term Lusory artery when used to describe the vessel that compresses the esophagus.…”

Background: A high incidence of anatomical variations in the origin of the branches of the aortic arch has been reported, Nowadays, this variation is considered the most frequent in the aortic arch, its prevalence being estimated between 0.5% and 2.5% of the population. To understand its origin, knowledge of embryonic development is necessary. Methods: We searched the MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Latin-American literature and caribean of health sciences databases with dates ranging from their inception to June 2023. Study selection, data extraction, and methodological quality were assessed with the guaranteed tool for anatomical studies (Anatomical Quality Assurance). Finally, the pooled prevalence was estimated using a random effects model. Results: Thirty-nine studies were found that met the eligibility criteria. Twenty studies with a total of 41,178 subjects were included in the analysis. The overall prevalence of an ARSA variant was 1% (95% confidence interval = 1%–2%), the clinical findings found are that if ARSA is symptomatic it could produce changes in the hemodynamic function of the thoracocervical region in addition to other associated symptomatic complications in surrounding structures. Conclusions: ARSA can cause several types of alterations in the cervical or thoracic region, resulting in various clinical complications, such as lusory dysphagia. Hence, knowing this variant is extremely important for surgeons, especially those who treat the cervico-thoracic region. The low prevalence of ARSA means that many professionals are completely unaware of its existence and possible course and origin. Therefore, this study provides detailed knowledge of ARSA so that professionals can make better diagnoses and treatment of ARSA.

“…The diagnosis of dysphagia lusoria is characterized as having esophageal compression, with resulting dysphagia, odynophagia, and/or reflux secondary to an ARSA, such as in the patient reported herein. It is estimated that in a general population, the prevalence of DL is 0.4%-0.7%, and the incidence of ARSA is 0.5%-1.8% [2,6]. Since 60%-80% of patients with an ARSA will remain asymptomatic throughout their lifetime, the diagnosis of DL is incredibly rare [2,7].…”

Dysphagia lusoria (DL) occurs due to an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) compressing the esophagus resulting in dysphagia, odynophagia, and/or reflux symptoms. It is diagnosed by barium esophagram followed by a CT scan or MRI. In this case report, there is a 44-year-old male with a chronic history of reflux and a cough that presents after a meal. The case was complicated due to the history of the patient's alcoholism with recurrent pancreatitis. A CT scan was obtained during his admission, which showed pleural effusion, atelectasis, aspiration pneumonia, and an incidental aberrant RCA. Although DL is a rare pathology, 60%-80% of patients remain asymptomatic, and patients with symptoms can be managed conservatively or surgically, depending on their severity.
