Abstract:
A simple technique is proposed for restoring aortic flow in an interrupted aortic arch simulating a type B interruption that does not require aortic cross-clamping, circulatory arrest, or the ligation of major aortic branches. Side-to-side anastomosis between the left carotid and subclavian arteries together with division of the ductus arteriosus and pulmonary artery banding proved effective for relieving aortic arch stricture in that location.
