Abstract

Interruption of the aortic arch and right subclavian artery aneurysm is a rare congenital malformation. Survival in adults depends on the formation of collaterals to supply the descending aorta. The interruption of the aortic arch must be taken into account, particularly in patients with hypertension and weak pulses in the lower extremities. We present a case of aortic arch interruption and a right subclavian artery aneurysm in a woman who survived to adulthood. © The Author(s) 2022.
