Neonatal repair of right interrupted aortic arch, aberrant left subclavian artery, ventricular septal defect and retroaortic innominate vein.
We report a rare case of neonatal biventricular repair of a right interrupted aortic arch (type B), with an aberrant left subclavian artery, ventricular septal defect and retroaortic innominate vein in a 4-week-old, 2.7 kg neonate with DiGeorge syndrome. The patient had an unremarkable postoperative recovery. We discuss the anatomy of this rare congenital anomaly, its surgical implications and issues surrounding the adequacy of the left ventricular outflow tract.
