aberrant right subclavian artery

[Guest guest]

Hello Friends,

decided to swallow a lite brite peg this weekend so we decided to visit

CHOP ER. While we were there, they did not locate the peg but they did find a

left aortic arch aberrant right subclavian artery. I have read a little about

it and noticed it can cause swallow dysfunction. ER doc also asked why this

hasn't been checked before with her swallow history. Hmmmmm I wonder if it is

contributing to our stand still with Miss E.?! Does this sound familiar to

anyone? We were encourged to make an appointment with cardiology...one of the

few specialists we DON'T see. Waiting for scheduling to call back so I thought

I'd ask for your experiences.

Any input on this one?? Thanks!!
