title: Interrupted aortic arch and aortopulmonary window associated with complete atrioventricular septal defect.
abstract: We report a rare case of a neonate with interrupted aortic arch, aortopulmonary window and complete atrioventricular septal defect. To the best of our knowledge, this unusual triad has not been previously described. The main question of the surgical strategy for CAVSD, in setting of associated defects, is to classify the CAVSD as balanced or unbalanced.
