Abstract

A combination of aortic valve atresia and an interrupted aortic arch is a unique disease in which perfusion to the brain and myocardium depends on coexisting lesions or type of interruption. We report a case of aortic valve atresia with type B interrupted arch, bilateral arterial ductus in a neonate who was successfully palliated using a hybrid approach by placing stents in both arterial ductus and banding of branch pulmonary arteries.
