Interrupted aortic arch complex: successful total correction in the neonate
LL Bailey, JG Jacobson, E Vyhmeister and E Petry
Two neonates subjected to definitive repair of interrupted aortic arch
complex during the first week of life are presented. Results correlated
well with preoperative status. Our definition of complete correction,
including direct aortic anastomosis, is discussed along with the surgical
strategy employed for successful repair of this otherwise dismal anomaly.
