J Card Surg. 2013 Jul;28(4):433-5. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12116. Epub 2013 Apr 30.

Abstract

Interrupted aortic arch is a rare congenital malformation. We describe the case of an interrupted aortic arch with a bicuspid aortic valve and severe aortic stenosis. The patient underwent a single-stage aortic valve replacement (AVR) and ventral aorta repair through a median sternotomy-laparotomy.
