%X Background:
Isolation of Left Subclavian Artery (LSCA) is a rare subset of Right Aortic Arch
(RAA). It is diagnosed as nonvisualization of LSCA in catheterization study. Case
Presentation:</span><b> </b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Here we report an unusual case of Tetralogy of Fallot
(TOF) with right aortic arch with isolation of left subclavian artery (LSCA).
Here LSCA originated from left pulmonary artery (LPA) through an atretic patent
ductus arteriosus (PDA). There was nonvisualization of LSCA in catheterization
study and it was confirmed by Computed Tomography (CT) angiography.
Re-implantation of LSCA was done to left common carotid artery (LCCA) so that
the left upper arm maintains a better </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">flow in
the future. Conclusion: Isolation of LSCA especially with TOF is a very rare entity.
Re-implantation of LSCA to LCCA was done in view of weak pulses in left upper
limb. Results were satisfactory in the follow up period.
