AbstractThe rare association, in a left-sided heart with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, of right aortic arch, bilateral patent arterial ducts and origin of the left subclavian artery from the left pulmonary artery are described. Cardiac catheterization was performed because of the abnormal anatomy of the arch noted at echocardiographic examination. This abnormality is of surgical importance when planning the Norwood operation.

AbstractWe describe two children with isolated origin of the left subclavian artery from the left pulmonary artery detected by echocardiography during the assessment of their congenital cardiac malformations. Both patients demonstrated pre-operative evidence of subclavian steal. This entity results from persistence of the dorsal segment of the sixth left arch, with regression of the left fourth arch and interruption of the left dorsal arch distal to the origin of the seventh left intersegmental artery. The significance of this finding relates to the potential for pulmonary overcirculation, which could have significant post-operative ramifications if not detected prior to surgical repair of an associated cardiac malformation. This entity differs from cases with a right aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery which has the potential to form a vascular ring, unlike cases with isolated origin of the left subclavian artery from the pulmonary artery that do not cause compression of the airway.

AbstractWe present two interesting cases of isolated left subclavian artery from the pulmonary artery with symptoms of upper airway obstruction. The first patient had tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary artery sling, bilateral superior caval veins, and left bronchial isomerism, suggesting heterotaxy syndrome. The second patient had a right aortic arch, isolated left subclavian artery, and bilateral arterial ducts. These two cases are interesting because of their rarity and uncommon presentation.
