World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg. 2021 Mar;12(2):293-296. doi: 10.1177/2150135120978960.

Abstract

Interruption of the ascending aorta is an extremely rare anomaly defined by a point of interruption between the intrapericardial and extrapericardial aorta and can be explained by developmental errors proximal to the embryologic right aortic sac. Herein, we present a case of interruption of the ascending aorta and describe a successful biventricular surgical repair of this unique anomaly.
