Int J Cardiol. 1991 May;31(2):249-51. doi: 10.1016/0167-5273(91)90225-e.

Abstract

Cross-sectional Doppler echocardiographic diagnosis of an aortopulmonary window with type B interrupted aortic arch, and anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta was made in a 15-day-old neonate. This is the first known reported case of surgical repair for this rare association based on prospective echocardiographic diagnosis alone.
