ONE-STAGE REPAIR OF INTERRUPTED AORTIC-ARCH, AORTOPULMONARY WINDOW, AND ANOMALOUS ORIGIN OF RIGHT PULMONARY-ARTERY WITH AUTOLOGOUS TISSUES

Interruption of the aortic arch, distal aortopulmonary septal defect, and aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery with intact interventr icular septum were associated findings in a 4-month-old infant who und erwent successful one-stage repair without the use of any synthetic ma terial, thus allowing for a potential for growth of both the pulmonary artery and the aorta. The baby made an uneventful recovery and remain s asymptomatic 36 months after repair. (Ann Thorac Surg 1998;66:264-7) . (C) 1998 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
