Abstract: | The diagnosis and repair in infancy of interrupted aortic arch and aortopulmonary window is described. Using deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest, aortic continuity was established with a prosthetic graft, which was anastomosed to the aortic orifice of the aortopulmonary window. The pulmonary artery side of the aortopulmonary window was closed directly. Postoperative cardiac catheterization demonstrated a good reconstruction. Previous experience with this rare variety of interrupted aortic arch complex is reviewed. |
