    Summary

    Interruption of the aortic arch is a rare congenital defect requiring emergency surgery. This case details a successful extra-anatomic arch reconstruction for a type B aortic arch interruption, offering a viable surgical solution.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Interruption of the aortic arch is a critical congenital heart defect often necessitating immediate surgical intervention.
    • This condition typically manifests within the first two weeks of a newborn's life, posing a significant mortality risk.

    Observation:

    • A specific case involved a type B interruption, occurring between the left subclavian and left carotid arteries.
    • A unique anatomical variation was noted: the right subclavian artery originated from the descending aorta.

    Findings:

    • An innovative extra-anatomic arch reconstruction technique was employed.
    • The procedure involved creating an end-to-side anastomosis between the right subclavian artery and the right carotid artery.

    Implications:

    • This surgical approach yielded a positive functional outcome for the patient.
    • The described technique offers a potentially life-saving alternative for complex aortic arch malformations.
