Successful treatment of patent ductus arteriosus accompanying right-sided aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The coexistence of a right-sided aortic arch (RAA), an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA), and a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a rarely seen vascular ring anomaly.
