    Aorto-pulmonary windows are rare congenital heart defects. Surgical outcomes are favorable, with aortic patching being the preferred method for successful repair.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Defects

    Background:

    • Aorto-pulmonary window is an uncommon congenital cardiac malformation, representing approximately 0.5% of catheterized congenital heart disease cases.
    • The anomaly can present with varying severity and clinical manifestations, influenced by associated cardiac malformations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical presentation, associated anomalies, and surgical outcomes of patients with aorto-pulmonary window.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different surgical techniques for repairing aorto-pulmonary windows.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 15 patients diagnosed with aorto-pulmonary window.
    • Analysis of clinical data, associated cardiac malformations, presentation age, and surgical interventions.

    Main Results:

    • Eight out of 15 patients had associated cardiac malformations, significantly impacting presentation in neonates.
    • Patients presenting later in infancy or childhood without severe associated anomalies were often asymptomatic.
    • Surgical repair outcomes showed a preference for aortic patching, with a low mortality rate.

    Conclusions:

    • Aorto-pulmonary window management depends on associated anomalies and patient age.
    • Surgical repair, particularly via aortic patching, is effective for aorto-pulmonary windows.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention can improve outcomes for this rare congenital heart defect.
