Interrupted aortic arch complex: successful total correction in the neonate

Ann Thorac Surg. 1978 Jan;25(1):66-70. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(10)63490-x.

Abstract

Two neonates subjected to definitive repair of interrupted aortic arch complex during the first week of life are presented. Results correlated well with preoperative status. Our definition of complete correction, including direct aortic anastomosis, is discussed along with the surgical strategy employed for successful repair of this otherwise dismal anomaly.
