Anomalous origin of the subclavian artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare but well-described entity. We report a case of anomalous origin of the left subclavian artery from the left pulmonary artery in a patient with transposition of the great arteries. We discuss the safe intraoperative management of this anomaly in a patient in whom the diagnosis was made intraoperatively.
