Coarctation of aorta with aberrant right subclavian artery presenting as Dysphagia lusoria and the impact of Bicuspid Aortic valve
Abstract
The coexistence of coarctation of aorta
(CoA), Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), severe
aortic stenosis and aberrant subclavian
artery is rare. The clinical significance
of a bicuspid valve in patients with
coarctation is not well established. The
aberrant right subclavian artery with a
retroesophageal course is the cause of
dysphagia lusoria. The clinical examination
of both upper and lower limb pulses
is important at any age. The lesions are
intimately related and the management is
a real surgical challenge.
