• We present the case of a 33-year-old woman with a non-aneurysmal, symptomatic aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) traveling posterior to the esophagus, as demonstrated on chest computed tomography (CT) scans. She was treated with a less invasive surgical approach: closure of the anomalous vessel close to its origin from the aortic arch, through a left thoracoscopic procedure, followed by right common carotid-subclavian artery transposition via an open right supraclavicular approach. This method avoids the postoperative morbidity associated with open thoracic surgery and allows a clear identification of the anatomic structures minimizing possible procedure-related complications as a long residual arterial stump.
