Summary
Isolated subclavian artery, a rare congenital anomaly, involves a disconnected subclavian artery perfused via subclavian steal. This condition often co-occurs with other aortic arch defects and intracardiac anomalies like Tetralogy of Fallot.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Pediatric Cardiology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Isolation of the subclavian artery is a rare congenital anomaly.
- It is defined by a loss of aortic continuity with persistent pulmonary artery connection via the ductus arteriosus.
- This anomaly is frequently associated with other aortic arch and intracardiac defects.
