[Aortic reposition of the anormal subclavian artery (case report of 3 infants) (author's transl)].
The most common anomaly of the aortic arches is retro-oesophageal position of the right subclavian artery. Most often this malposition does not exhibit any clinical manifestation. In some rare cases, eso-tracheal compression is therefore observed. In these cases, a reposition of the subclavian artery in the ascending aorta was performed according to the technique presented. This surgical procedure, suppresses all symptoms without decreasing the vascularisation of the upper extremity as well as of the vertebral and basilarian territories. Long-term follow-up studies were carried out using ultra-sonic flow-metry.
