Abstract
An 11 yr old female child with Down''s syndrome presented with increasing dyspnea and dysphagia. Radiologic studies demonstrated a false aneurysm of an anomalous right subclavian artery which was compressing both trachea and esophagus. The etiology of this aneurysm most probably related to an unsuccessful cardiac catheterization 2 yr prior to this admission. Proximal and distal ligation of the anomalous subclavian artery was accomplished through a right thoracotomy and the patient has remained asymptomatic.
