New surgical technique for type B aortic interruption.
Restoring continuity of the aortic arch in aortic interruption continues to be a problem in terms of both surgical technique and long-term results. We report here a surgical technique using the left subclavian artery along with an aberrant right subclavian artery to form a conduit in a patient with type B interruption, to reestablish aortic continuity.
