AB  - Interrupted Aortic Arch (IAA) is a rare congenital malformation of the aortic arch that occurs in 3 per
million live births. This anomaly is defined as a loss of luminal continuity between the ascending and
descending portion of the aorta that entails a very poor prognosis without surgical treatment. In most cases
IAA is associated with an intracardiac malformation such as VSD, PDA, bicuspid aortic valve, left ventricular
outflow tract obstruction or aorto-pulmonary window We report a 16 years old boy with IAA associated with
double inlet left ventricle, aneurysmal dilatation of pulmonary artery, giant PDA and severe pulmonary
hypertension. As our knowledge there is no previous report of IAA associated with complex congenital heart
disease such as our case.
