title: One-stage repair of absence of the aortopulmonary septum and interrupted aortic arch.
abstract: Absence of the aortopulmonary septum, interrupted aortic arch, aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery, intact ventricular septum, and patent ductus arteriosus is a rarely reported association. A 3-year-old boy underwent successful one-stage repair of this constellation of anomalies. A Dacron baffle was used both to close the huge aortopulmonary window and to direct blood to the right pulmonary artery. Type A interrupted aortic arch was repaired by direct anastomosis. Postoperatively, pulmonary artery pressure was less than half systemic pressure.
