Echocardiographic delineation of anomalous origin of the right subclavian artery from the right pulmonary artery

Abstract

AbstractWe describe a case of anomalous origin of the right subclavian artery from the right pulmonary artery detected by cross-sectional echocardiography in an infant with type B interruption of the aortic arch. Preoperative recognition and surgical reimplantation of the right subclavian artery are important to prevent subsequent subclavian steal syndrome.
