Upper extremity intermittent ischemia due to non-aneurysmal, not occluded aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is rare.
We describe a 30-year-old male who suffered from PFO and non-aneurysmal, not occluded ARSA, and presented by intermittent right upper extremity ischemia. He was treated by right carotid subclavian transposition for ARSA and antiplatelet medication for PFO.
Authors assume that intermittent limb ischemia can occur secondary to anatomical changes in a patient without aneurysmal degeneration or occluded ARSA and the existence of pure PFO without any evidence of venous thrombosis is not enough to prove the paradoxical emboli scenario.
非动脉瘤性、未闭塞的迷走右锁骨下动脉(ARSA)导致的上肢间歇性缺血较为罕见。
我们描述了一名30岁男性,患有卵圆孔未闭(PFO)和非动脉瘤性、未闭塞的ARSA,并表现为右上肢间歇性缺血。他接受了针对ARSA的右颈动脉-锁骨下动脉转位术以及针对PFO的抗血小板药物治疗。
作者认为,在没有动脉瘤样退变或ARSA闭塞的患者中,间歇性肢体缺血可能继发于解剖结构改变,并且单纯存在PFO而无任何静脉血栓形成的证据不足以证明反常栓塞的情况。
