Complete repair of concomitant interrupted aortic arch and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection

J Card Surg. 2006 May-Jun;21(3):264-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8191.2006.00227.x.

Abstract

We report a rare case of concomitant presentation of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection and type A interrupted aortic arch in a 4-week-old, 2.1 kg newborn. She presented in extremis and was found to have a closed ductus arteriosus with the entire left pulmonary venous return obstructed at its connection with the innominate vein. Emergent operative repair was performed in one-stage, consisting of aortic arch reconstruction and anomalous vein translocation. Postoperative recovery was unremarkable and the patient was discharged from hospital 12 days after operation.
