The isolated left subclavian artery is a rare congenital variation of the vascular structure. Herein, we report the case of a 10-year-old boy with a rare isolated left subclavian artery. The left subclavian artery evolved from stenosis to atresia, resulting in subclavian steal syndrome. In our case, the combination of echocardiography and computed tomography angiography provided a comprehensive assessment of the cardiovascular malformations, considered necessary for a definitive diagnosis.

Objective: Not many reports of subclavian artery occlusion complicated by vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm have been published, and no cases have been treated using a distal radial approach. Our case report highlights the effectiveness of this approach in comparison to previous findings.
Case Presentation: An 82-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of an enlarged vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm.

A 53-year-old female with a medical history of multiple cardiovascular risk factors, alcoholic chronic hepatic disease (Child-Pugh B) with thrombocytopenia, and severe calcified aortic stenosis was admitted for an elective transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). After the procedure, the patient was hypotensive and unresponsive to fluid challenge, and there was a significant difference in blood pressure between the two arms. The echocardiogram confirmed the normal position and function of the prosthetic valve but was suggestive of aortic dissection.
