Abstract
A 52-year-old Japanese man with thoracic esophageal cancer associated with the right aortic arch nas admitted to our hospital. Preoperative spiral computed tomography and three-dimensional image reconstruction also showed an associated aberrant left subclavian artery. After preop erative concurrent chemoradiation, the patient underwent a subtotal es ophagectomy with regional lymphadenectomy via a left thoracotomy.
