  • Title: Isolation of the Left Subclavian Artery with Right Aortic Arch in Association with Bilateral Ductus Arteriosus and Ventricular Septal Defect.
    Author: Lee JS, Park JY, Ko SM, Seo DM.
    Journal: Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2015 Dec; 48(6):415-8. PubMed ID: 26665110.
    Abstract:
    Right aortic arch with isolation of the left subclavian artery is a rare anomaly. The incidence of bilateral ductus arteriosus is sporadic, and a right aortic arch with isolation of the left subclavian artery in association with bilateral ductus arteriosus is therefore extremely rare. Since the symptoms and signs of isolation of the left subclavian artery can include the absence or underdevelopment of the left arm, subclavian steal syndrome, or pulmonary artery steal syndrome, the proper therapeutic approach is controversial. We report a case in which surgical reconstruction was used to treat isolation of the left subclavian artery with right aortic arch in association with bilateral ductus arteriosus and a ventricular septal defect.
