One-Stage Repair of an Interrupted Aortic Arch with an Aortopulmonary Window in a Premature Neonate

Interrupted aortic arch and aortopulmonary window associated with complete atrioventricular septal defect.

We report a rare case of a neonate with interrupted aortic arch, aortopulmonary window and complete atrioventricular septal defect. To the best of our knowledge, this unusual triad has not been previously described. The main question of the surgical strategy for CAVSD, in setting of associated defects, is to classify the CAVSD as balanced or unbalanced.

Aortopulmonary window and interrupted aortic arch in a neonate assessed by 64-slice computed tomography.

MOTS CLÉS Fenêtre A newborn baby, born prematurely at 34 weeks’ gestation, had a neonatal diagnosis of aortopulmonary window after respiratory distress at 6 days of life, with a systolic heart murmur. He underwent two-dimensional echocardiography, which depicted an 8mm defect between the aorta and the pulmonary artery with a massive left-to-right shunt (Fig. 1). Dual-source 64-channel multidete...

CH D urgical management of aortopulmonary window ssociated with interrupted aortic arch : A Congenital Heart

esults: Interrupted aortic arch was type A in 17 patients and type B in 3 patients. ortopulmonary window morphology was type I (n 10), type II (n 5), and type II (n 5). Associated cardiovascular anomalies were common, including atrial eptal defect (n 13) and systemic venous anomalies (n 3). Overall survival after nitial admission was 91%, 86%, and 84% at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively. Fiftee...

Complete Repair of Interrupted Aortic Arch with Ventricular Septal Defect in a Premature Weighing 1600 Grams A Case Report

A premature neonate with gestational age of 32 weeks and birth body weight of 1650 grams was diagnosed to have type A interrupted aortic arch, perimembranous type ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. One-stage complete reconstruction of aortic arch and concomitant repair of intracardiac defects was performed at age of 13 days with body weight of 1600 gr...
