Abstract
Interrupted right sided aortic arch is a very rare anomaly, and to our knowledge only one such case in which the patient underwent complete repair has been recorded in the literature. Twelve additional cases we re found on autopsy or underwent palliative surgery. We present the ca se of a 25-day-old infant with an interrupted right sided aortic arch. The anomaly was repaired by a one-stage surgical approach, and the pa tient discharged from the hospital. Surgical technique considerations are discussed
