Interrupted aortic arch with severe aortic stenosis in an adult bicuspid aortic valve patient
Abstract
Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a rare congenital anomaly with a high mortality rate if left unoperated in infancy. Very few cases have been reported in adults so far. In this article, we are describing a case of IAA in a 28-year-old male patient. It was associated with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) leading to severe aortic stenosis (AS). To our knowledge, very few complex cases involving trio of IAA with BAV and AS have been reported so far.
