Pulmonary autograft patch aortoplasty for reconstruction of an interrupted aortic arch associated with an aortopulmonary window.
We present here an infant with an aortopulmonary window associated with an interrupted aortic arch. Single-stage repair with a pulmonary autograft patch for augmentation of the interrupted aortic arch repair was performed. Transpulmonary patch closure was used to repair the aortopulmonary window. A computed tomography scan at the 1-month follow-up demonstrated a reconstructed aortic arch without obstruction, kinking, or any sign of bronchial or branch pulmonary artery compression.
