Isolated left subclavian artery is one of the rarer aortic arch anomalies. It has been associated with other congenital heart diseases, typically tetralogy of Fallot, double-outlet right ventricle, and atrial and ventricular septal defects. Its significant clinical implications include a left-to-right shunt from the vertebrobasilar system, which causes pulmonary overcirculation and subclavian steal. We present an unusual case of a premature infant who was diagnosed prenatally with congenital complete atrioventricular block and tricuspid atresia and was found to have an isolated left subclavian artery postnatally. The patient underwent implantation of a permanent single-chamber epicardial pacing system. To our knowledge, this combination of lesions has not been reported-and in our case, it influenced our surgical planning.
孤立性左锁骨下动脉是较为罕见的主动脉弓异常之一。它常与其他先天性心脏病相关,典型的如法洛四联症、右心室双出口以及房间隔和室间隔缺损。其重要的临床意义包括椎基底动脉系统出现左向右分流,这会导致肺循环过度和锁骨下动脉窃血。我们报告了一例罕见病例,一名早产儿在产前被诊断为先天性完全性房室传导阻滞和三尖瓣闭锁,出生后发现患有孤立性左锁骨下动脉。该患者接受了永久性单腔心外膜起搏系统植入术。据我们所知,这种病变组合此前尚未见报道,在我们的病例中,它影响了我们的手术规划。
