Anomalous subclavian arteries were used as interposition grafts for systemic-pulmonary arterial shunts in three infants and children with good early and long-term results. This is the first report of the use of an anomalous subclavian artery as an interposition graft for a systemic-pulmonary arterial shunt. The advantages and effectiveness of the technique are discussed.
