A premature baby underwent thoracotomy for repair of esophageal atresi a and tracheoesophageal fistula, during which time a right chest tube was placed. In the immediate postoperative period, right subclavian ar tery occlusion was recognized and relieved by partial withdrawal of th e chest tube, which had migrated high into the apex of the right hemit horax.
