| Abstract: | An aneurysm in the anomalous left subclavian artery developed in an elderly woman with a right aortic arch and an aberrant left subclavian artery (left ligamentum arteriosum connected to the left common carotid artery). The aneurysm gradually enlarged, eventually rupturing with exsanguination. A progressive increase in the size of this aneurysm was associated with symptoms and anatomic findings consistent with the subclavian “steal” syndrome. |
