Abstract

A right-sided cervical aortic arch, tetralogy of Fallot, and a peculiar tortuosity of the descending aorta in which the aorta formed triple loops were diagnosed by angiocardiography in a 12-year-old girl. Histologic examination of the biopsied wall of the left subclavian artery, taken at the time of a Blalock-Taussig anastomosis, revealed no elastic-tissue defect.
