Abstract

Little information exists regarding the prevalence of aberrant or ectopic aortic arch vessels in patients with different cardiovascular anomalies. We present a young patient with an aberrant right subclavian artery associated with an ectopic left vertebral artery and a bicuspid aortic valve.
