Summary

This study presents a surgical strategy for interrupted aortic arch complex in neonates. Successful repair, including direct aortic anastomosis, correlated with preoperative status, offering hope for this severe heart defect.

Background:

Interrupted aortic arch complex is a severe congenital heart defect requiring early surgical intervention.
Definitive repair in the neonatal period is crucial for long-term outcomes.
Previous strategies have shown variable success rates for this complex anomaly.

Observation:

Two neonates underwent definitive repair of interrupted aortic arch complex within the first week of life.
The surgical strategy focused on achieving complete correction, defined by direct aortic anastomosis.
Preoperative patient status was a key factor in correlating with postoperative results.

Findings:

The presented surgical strategy resulted in successful repair of the interrupted aortic arch complex.

Outcomes demonstrated a strong correlation between preoperative status and postoperative results.

The definition of complete correction, emphasizing direct aortic anastomosis, was successfully achieved.

Implications:

This surgical approach offers a viable option for the management of interrupted aortic arch complex in neonates.
The findings suggest that careful patient selection based on preoperative status can optimize surgical outcomes.
Further research into refining surgical techniques for aortic arch anomalies is warranted.
