Subclavian Steal Syndrome in Anomalous Connection of the Left Subclavian Artery to the Pulmonary Artery in D-Transposition of the Great Arteries

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.
