title: Left Subclavian Artery Perfusion During the Norwood Operation for Interrupted Aortic Arch With Aortic Atresia.
abstract: The combination of aortic atresia and interrupted aortic arch is a rare condition. We describe a case of Norwood operation for this defect, in which a collateral artery from the descending aorta supplied coronary perfusion. The devised cardiopulmonary bypass technique is discussed, in which the left subclavian artery perfusion was utilized in addition to the cannulation to the descending aorta to secure the cerebral perfusion.
