Abstract
- Atresia in the aortic arch is a rare and severe congenital cardiovascular anomaly. Without surgical therapy, only a few patients can survive to adulthood. A 29-year-old woman with atresia of the aortic arch (Celoria-Patton Type A) without any intracardiac shunt underwent primary surgical correction involving reconstruction of the aortic arch with prosthetic interposition between the transverse aortic arch and the descending aorta and division of the persistent ductus arteriosus. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and she is now doing well at three years to date after surgical treatment.
