Abstract

Isolated subclavial artery is a rare congenital anomaly. Herein we discuss a patient with isolated left subclavian artery and bilateral patent arterial ducts who underwent successful repair. We also describe the detailed anatomy of both recurrent nerves in this condition and embryology of the anomaly.
