Kesintili arkus aorta nadir rastlanan, fatal seyirli konjenital kardiyak bir anomali olup, aorta ascendens ile aorta descendens arasındaki bir segmentte atrezinin olması şeklinde tanımlanır ve %98 oranında diğer kardiovasküler anomalilerle birlikte bulunur. Üç tipi mevcuttur. Tip A’ da kesinti, a. subclavia sinistra’nın distalindedir. Tip B’de, a. carotis communis sinistra ile a. subclavia sinistra, tip C’de, a. carotis communis sinistra ile a. carotis communis dextra arasındadır. Selçuk Üniversitesi pediatrik kardiyoloji kliniğine başvuran postnatal 5. gününde bir erkek bebeğin çekilen ekokardiyografisinde; truncus brachiocephalicus’un distalinden itibaren tip B kesintili arkus aorta, ventriküler septal defekt, biküspit aorta, patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defekt, annulus aorticus hipoplazisi tespit edildi. Bilgisayarlı tomografi anjiyografisinde ise, a. carotis communis sinistra ile a. subclavia sinistra arasında bağlantı olmadığı görüldü. Bu vakada, arcus aorta anomalisi ve eşlik eden diğer kardiovasküler anomalilerin erken tanı ve tedavisinde radyolojik görüntüleme yöntemlerinin önemi vurgulanmaktadır

Anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta (AORPA) is a rare congenital heart defect and generally associated with other cardiac anomalies. Patients with AORPA have high pulmonary flow results in congestive heart failure and unilateral pulmonary hypertension. Thus, it is frequently a fatal malformation in the neonatal or early infancy periods if early surgical repair is not performed. Herein, we report a 1.5 month-old girl who was diagnosed with AORPA associated with aortopulmonary window and interrupted aortic arch and successfully operated using a single pericardial xenograft 3D patch.

Interrupted aortic arch is a rare congenital malformation of the aortic arch defined as a loss of luminal continuity between the ascending and descending portions of the aorta. In a simple interrupted aortic arch, only a ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus are observed. We present a rare complex form of type A interrupted aorta with an aortopulmonary window, an atrial septal defect, a ventricular septal defect, and a patent ductus arteriosus on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging.
