Disfagia lusoria por arteria subclavia izquierda aberrante tratada mediante exclusión arterial y aortoplastia

Abstract

Dysphagia lusoria is a rare cause of dysphagia that requires a high suspicion index to make a diagnosis and management protocol as well an understanding of the underlying physiopathological and embryological mechanisms to plan an adequate surgery for a definitive treatment. Even though there is moderate experience with the management of dysphagia lusoria in its most common variant, corresponding to that arising from an aberrant right subclavian artery, there are only a few cases of dysphagia lusoria due to an aberrant left subclavian artery. Next, we describe the case of a 45-year-old male with late onset presentation of symptoms in whom we found dysphagia lusoria with aberrant left subclavian artery.
