Abstract
A 46-day-old infant weighing 2250 g with the coarctation of the aorta, ventricular septal defect, PDA, the anomalous right subclavian artery, and the persistent left superior vena cava initially underwent by the reversed subclavian flap aortoplasty with the anomalous right subclavian artery and pulmonary arterial banding. The reversed subclavian flap aortoplasty was useful for the coarctation complex with the anomalous right subclavian artery. Two months later he gained weight to 2500 g, and then VSD closure and debanding of PAB was performed successfully. This two-staged operation was recommended for the poor risk coarctation complex with the anomalous subclavian artery.
