Abstract
The authors describe the cross-sectional echocardiographic and angiogr aphic features besides the postmortem findings of a newborn with aorti c atresia associated with the aortopulmonary window and an interrupted aortic arch, as the third known similar case reported in the literatu re. Anatomical and clinical similarities with common arterial trunk ar e emphasized and a more correct management is established to avoid ris ks, in which Norwood-type techniques would be preferable.
