Abstract: | We present here an infant with an aortopulmonary window associated with an interrupted aortic arch. Single-stage repair with
a pulmonary autograft patch for augmentation of the interrupted aortic arch repair was performed. Transpulmonary patch closure
was used to repair the aortopulmonary window. A computed tomography scan at the 1-month follow-up demonstrated a reconstructed
aortic arch without obstruction, kinking, or any sign of bronchial or branch pulmonary artery compression. |
