We present the case of a 33-year-old patient with a rare combination of a right-sided aortic arch and occluded asymptomatic aberrant left subclavian artery diagnosed after the coincidental finding of an interarm blood pressure difference. Because there were no symptoms of local compression or subclavian steal, conservative management was suggested.
