- Abstract
The aortopulmonary window concomitant with an interrupted aortic arch is a rare occurrence. We successfully performed an emergency one-stage surgical repair of the aortopulmonary window (type 1) concomitant with an interrupted aortic arch (type A) in the case of a very low-birth-weight (1230-g) premature 2-day-old neonate. We describe the diagnosis, surgery, and postoperative course of this rare occurrence.
