Abstract
Advancements in endovascular stent graft design have enabled the treatment of distal aortic arch pathologies. However, the length of the proximal landing zone remains a limitation, especially with vascular anomalies like an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) posing additional challenges. A 78-year-old patient underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA), which revealed progressive enlargement of a distal aortic arch aneurysm located beyond an ARSA that coursed between the esophagus and trachea. Following evaluation by the multidisciplinary Aortic Team, a hybrid procedure was planned. A right carotid-to-ARSA bypass was performed and a Castor single-branched stent graft (CSBSG) was deployed in the aortic arch with its side branch directed into the left subclavian artery (LSA), thereby covering the origin of the ARSA. To prevent a type II endoleak, plug embolization of the ARSA origin was subsequently performed. CSBSG is a feasible treatment for distal aortic arch aneurysms, even in the presence of vascular anomalies such as ARSA.
