Large unrepaired aortopulmonary window--survival into the seventh decade.
Aortopulmonary (AP) window is a rare cardiac malformation. We report a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome secondary to a large unrepaired AP window who gave birth to three children in her thirties, survived into her fifties with relatively preserved quality of life, and died at age 60.
