Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <sec id="jocs12386-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is an uncommon congenital vascular abnormality. Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection with ARSA is rare. We report a strategy for Stanford type A aortic dissection with ARSA. The ascending aorta and the total aortic arch were replaced and a frozen elephant trunk was implanted into the descending aorta. The right subclavian artery was reconstructed with the perfusion branch of a four‐branch prosthetic graft. Two weeks later, the proximal part of the ARSA was sealed with a vascular plug. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12386 <italic>(J Card Surg 2015;30:274–275)</italic></p> </sec> </abstract>
