Dislocation of the scapula is a rare disorder. The nomenclature in the literature can be confusing as a result of nonspecific terms such as locked scapula and dislocated scapula when referring to both intra- and extra-thoracic dislocations. After a thorough review of the literature we further define and classify scapular dislocations to better understand prognosis and patient education.

We report the case of a 26-year-old female patient with Marfan syndrome and an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) with associated Kommerell diverticulum. The patient presented with spontaneous acute dissection of the ARSA that showed fusiform dilation to 4 cm in diameter. Definitive treatment was performed using a two-stage hybrid endovascular technique, including extrathoracic bilateral upper extremity bypass and thoracic endovascular aortic repair with debranching of the right and left subclavian arteries.

Right-sided aortic arch is a rare variant of the thoracic vascular anatomy that may be accompanied by an aberrant origin of the left subclavian artery. We report a true aneurysm of the distal arch and descending thoracic aorta in a patient with right-sided arch and review previous descriptions of aneurysms of anomalous right-sided aortas. In our patient, the left subclavian artery originated at the junction between the distal arch and the descending thoracic aorta located in the right chest and was aneurysmal (Kommerell's diverticulum); the thoracic aorta was also aneurysmal.

Background: Previous reports suggest a poor prognosis for patients with ectopia cordis and significant congenital heart disease.
Methods And Results: To determine the outcome of affected patients in a recent medical and surgical era, we reviewed the clinical course, echocardiograms, catheterization data, and operative reports of all patients with ectopia cordis and significant heart disease encountered at Children's Hospital from 1982 to the present. We identified 13 patients with conotruncal defects and either thoracic (TEC, n = 4) or thoracoabdominal (TAEC, n = 9) ectopia cordis.
