One stage combined repair of intracardiac defects with vascular ring employing sternotomy approach

Jineel H Raythatha et al. J Card Surg. 2020 Dec.

Abstract

We present an unusual case of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect with a vascular ring formed by a right-sided aortic arch with an aberrant left subclavian artery that gave rise to a patent ductus arteriosus connecting to the main pulmonary artery. We performed a single-stage repair of the intracardiac defects and division of vascular ring with a sternotomy instead of the traditionally practiced dual approach. This included division and reimplantation of the aberrant left subclavian artery to the left carotid artery after transection. This approach has not been described so far.

Keywords: aorta and great vessels; cardiovascular pathology; congenital heart disease; intracardiac defects; single stage repair; vascular ring.
