Popis: Non-aneurysmatic aberrant right subclavian artery is a rare cause of dysphagia. We report a case of a 65-year-old female patient having a symptomatic lusorian artery. We reviewed literature as for indications and operative techniques for type I lusorian arteries. Different types of surgical approaches have been reported but there is no consensus to date. We performed a minimally invasive sternotomy with right cervicotomy. This surgical approach maximized our visibility resulting in a safe dissection, resection and reinsertion of the aberrant right subclavian artery. Postoperative morbidity was low.
