- Abstract
Aortic arch reconstruction is the key to successfully repairing an interrupted aortic arch (IAA) with tubular hypoplasia of the aortic arch (THAA), especially in older children. We report a novel reconstruction technique involving aortapulmonary fusion that was used to treat THAA in a 9 year-old patient with IAA. In this procedure, the underside of the aortic arch and the upside of the main pulmonary artery were fused to reconstruct the aortic arch. The short-term outcome of the procedure has been promising. This procedure may represent an alternative for repairing extensive THAA in older children.
