  ABSTRACT: Background: Isolation of Left Subclavian Artery (LSCA) is a rare subset of Right Aortic Arch (RAA). It is diagnosed as nonvisualization of LSCA in catheterization study. Case Presentation: Here we report an unusual case of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with right aortic arch with isolation of left subclavian artery (LSCA). Here LSCA originated from left pulmonary artery (LPA) through an atretic patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). There was nonvisualization of LSCA in catheterization study and it was confirmed by Computed Tomography (CT) angiography. Re-implantation of LSCA was done to left common carotid artery (LCCA) so that the left upper arm maintains a better flow in the future. Conclusion: Isolation of LSCA especially with TOF is a very rare entity. Re-implantation of LSCA to LCCA was done in view of weak pulses in left upper limb. Results were satisfactory in the follow up period.
