We report a rare case of the ascending aortic aneurysm with an anomalous origin of the right subclavian artery. The right subclavian artery branched from the aorta as the fourth major vessel and ran behind the esophagus. Moreover, the left and right coronary arteries arose ectopically from the posterior and the left aortic sinus, respectively.References
