Interrupted aortic arch associated with aortopulmonary window in a 20 year-old young adult
Abstract:
Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) and aortopulmonary window (APW) are rare but well-described congenital malformations. However, coexistence of these anomalies in young adults is an unusual event. Patients rarely reach adulthood without surgical correction in the neonatal period. The authors describe a 20-year-old patient, who presented with exertional dyspnea and was diagnosed as having IAA and concomitant APW. IAA just distal to the left subclavian artery and a large APW were demonstrated by chest multi-slice computed tomography angiography and cardiac catheterization.
