Isolation of the right subclavian artery in a patient with d-transposition of the great arteries

Ann Pediatr Cardiol. 2015 May-Aug;8(2):161-3. doi: 10.4103/0974-2069.154154.

Abstract

Isolation of the right subclavian artery (RSCA) is rare, and this finding in association with d-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) is extremely unusual. We present a case of an isolated RSCA in a newborn with d-TGA in whom the clinical presentation was diagnostic. We discuss the imaging modalities used to confirm the diagnosis, the embryological basis of the finding, and the surgical repair.

Keywords: Anomalous origin of right subclavian artery; congenital heart disease; isolated right subclavian artery; transposition of the great arteries.
