Infant With Recurrent Vomiting and Poor Weight Gain Secondary to an Aberrant Subclavian Artery

This case highlights the diagnosis and management of an infant who presented with recurrent large-volume emesis and poor weight gain secondary to esophageal compression from an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA).
