Hybrid palliation of interrupted aortic arch in a high-risk neonate

Ann Pediatr Cardiol. 2010 Jan;3(1):74-6. doi: 10.4103/0974-2069.64360.

Abstract

We report a case of a high-risk neonate with interrupted aortic arch (IAA) and ventricular septal defect who underwent a successful hybrid palliative procedure using a ductal stent and bilateral branch pulmonary artery banding. This case represents not only a successful use of hybrid approach in high-risk neonates with IAA, but also introduces an alternative and safe access for ductal stent insertion through the right ventricular infundibulum.

Keywords: Acyanotic congenital heart disease; hybrid procedure; interrupted aortic arch.
