    Compression of undiagnosed aberrant right subclavian artery during transesophageal echocardiography probe insertion.
    (2012-07) Garg, Vishal; Joshi, Reena; Joshi, Raja
    Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has become an important monitoring tool for the anesthesiologist during repair of intracardiac defects. Although the incidence of reported complications associated with its use is low, one should be careful during the insertion and use of TEE probe, as it may result in potential devastating problems. We present a case of undiagnosed aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) that got compressed by the TEE probe during its insertion. It was noticed because of the presence of the right radial artery catheter, else it would have passed unnoticed.

    Selective use of superficial temporal artery cannulation in infants undergoing cardiac surgery.
    (2015-10) Bhaskar, Pradeep; John, Jiju; Lone, Reyaz Ahmad; Sallehuddin, Ahmed
    Arterial cannulation is routinely performed in children undergoing cardiac surgery to aid the intraoperative and intensive care management. Most commonly cannulated peripheral site in children is radial artery, and alternatives include posterior tibial, dorsalis pedis, and rarely superficial temporal artery (STA). Two specific situations in cardiac surgery where STA cannulation and monitoring was useful during the surgical procedure are reported. To our knowledge, such selective use of STA pressure monitoring has not been reported in the literature previously. Our experience suggests that STA monitoring can be useful and reliable during repair of coarctation of aorta or administration of anterograde cerebral perfusion in patients having associated aberrant origin of the right subclavian artery.

    Symptomatic aberrant right subclavian artery—A case report and anesthetic implications
    (Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2022-03) Murukendiran, G J; Dash, Prasanta Kumar; Azeez, Aspari M; Palanisamy, Nithiyanandhan; Pitchai, Shivanesan
    Vascular compression of the esophagus by an aberrant right subclavian artery (aRSA) leading to dysphagia is a rare occurrence. There has been a significant advancement in the diagnostic and surgical treatment modalities available for this disorder. Anesthetic management has evolved too and this case report highlights the anesthetic management of a 41?year?old woman presenting with symptoms of dysphagia because of compression of esophagus by an aRSA, who subsequently underwent re?implantation of aRSA into ascending aorta.
