Isolated left carotid artery in CHARGE association: diagnosis and repair

K Ghalili et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1990 Jul.

Abstract

Isolation of the left carotid artery is extremely rare. We report a case of isolation of the left carotid artery with CHARGE association. Aortic arch abnormalities should be looked for in all children with CHARGE association. The technique of repair involved implantation of the isolated left carotid artery to the ascending aorta.
