Summary: This video demonstrates robotically assisted intrathoracic mobilization of the aberrant right subclavian artery in a pediatric patient, which is completed in the same operative setting as arterial transposition. We also demonstrate our technique for open right subclavian to carotid transposition via a small, supraclavicular incision to complete the procedure.
