Abstract |
Interrupted aortic arch is a congenital anomaly in which discontinuity is present between ascending
and descending aorta, and is associated frequently with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus
arteriosus.
Authors experienced a case of interrupted aortic arch in a 4 year old boy associated with a
ventriculalr septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus.
Diagnostic confirmation was made by 2-D echocardiography, cardiac cathetrization and angiogra-
phy.
Direct closure of ventricular septal defect, ligation of patent ductus arteriosus and side-to-end
anastomosis of left subclavian artery to descending aorta were performed surgically. |
