Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The association of interrupted aortic arch and an aortopulmonary communication is extremely rare and represents a diagnostic challenge. We report the case of a 15-hour-old infant presenting with these malformations with emphasis on the echocardiographic diagnosis. We conclude that cardiac catheterisation is not mandatory and indeed, is best avoided. |
