Repair of interrupted aortic arch using autologous pulmonary artery tissue
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 November 2017
Abstract
There are several options for the repair of interrupted aortic arch. Direct anastomosis may cause several problems including anastomotic site stenosis, left main bronchus compression, and acute-angled aortic arch. Interposition of a prosthetic graft has no growth potential. We present a case of 34-month-old child with interrupted aortic arch, which was repaired using a pulmonary autograft tube.
