Abstract

In this report, a unique case of a symptomatic vascular ring formed by right aortic arch, aberrant left subclavian artery, and left ligamentum arteriosus in which there is atresia of the proximal left subclavian artery is described. Imaging modalities were non-diagnostic and the patient was sent to surgery based on strong clinical suspicion. Her anatomy was delineated in the operating room and the ring was successfully repaired.
