New surgical technique for type B aortic interruption

Ann Thorac Surg. 1992 Oct;54(4):797-9. doi: 10.1016/0003-4975(92)91039-c.

Abstract

Restoring continuity of the aortic arch in aortic interruption continues to be a problem in terms of both surgical technique and long-term results. We report here a surgical technique using the left subclavian artery along with an aberrant right subclavian artery to form a conduit in a patient with type B interruption, to reestablish aortic continuity.
