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 interventricular septum were associated findings in a 4-month-old infant who underwent successful one-stage repair without the use of any synthetic material, thus allowing for a potential for growth of both the pulmonary artery and the aorta. The baby made an uneventful recovery and remains asymptomatic 36 months after repair.
