Aberrant right subclavian artery: the association with chromosomal defects and the related post-natal outcomes in a third level referral centre

This study confirms known data on association with chromosomal defects and provides some original data on the absence of symptomatology due to tracheal compression with a postnatal follow-up up to three years of age.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Our findings suggest that in cases with adequate prenatal assessment performed by experienced clinicians, delivery can safely take place at local hospitals, with no need of referral soon after birth. The use of transthoracic echocardiography to confirm the diagnoses of ARSA after birth and to plan the next follow-up appointments can be supported.PMID:34039241 | DOI:10.1080/01443615.2021.1904228
