Subclavian steal syndrome in anomalous connection of the left subclavian artery to the pulmonary artery in D-transposition of the great arteries

Several reports have documented the occurrence of an isolated left subclavi an artery in association with both tetralogy of Fallot and double-outlet ri ght 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 pa tient with Spondylocostal dysostosis (SCD). Cardiac anomalies are rare in S CD and this constellation of findings have not previously been described.
