Mortality for interruption of the aortic arch approaches 100% within the first year of life if untreated. Prostaglandin E1 can stabilize the patient's condition in anticipation of surgical palliation, but total repair is required for long-term survival. Successful complete repair of type B interrupted aortic arch, hypoplasia of the left ventricular outflow tract, and ventricular septal defect was possible using a cryopreserved allograft in a child who previously had undergone unusual palliation.
