Abstract
The presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery represents a potentially risky situation when high mediastinal surgery is planned. We report a case of a patient needing transhiatal esophagectomy for cancer; the presence of the abnormal anatomic arterial situation complicated the postoperative course, when a vascular- digestive fistula appears. We discuss the direct causes and consequences of a rare situation.Entities:
