Abstract: | Several reports have documented the occurrence of an isolated left subclavian artery in association with both tetralogy of
Fallot and double-outlet right ventricle. In certain cases a congenital subclavian or pulmonary artery steal syndrome exists
in which the left subclavian artery is connected to the main pulmonary artery via a ductus arteriosus. We describe a subclavian
steal syndrome secondary to anomalous origin of the left subclavian artery from the pulmonary artery in d-transposition of
the great arteries in a patient with Spondylocostal dysostosis (SCD). Cardiac anomalies are rare in SCD and this constellation
of findings have not previously been described. |
