A recent study conducted by researchers at Universidad Andres Bello in Santiago, Chile, examined the prevalence and clinical implications of anatomical variations in the right subclavian artery (ARSA). The study found that ARSA is the most common variation in the aortic arch, affecting approximately 0.5% to 2.5% of the population. The researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 39 studies, which included a total of 41,178 subjects. They found that ARSA can cause various clinical complications in the cervical and thoracic region, such as lusory dysphagia. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding ARSA for surgeons treating the cervico-thoracic region, as many professionals may be unaware of its existence and potential impact.
