Surgical repair of truncus arteriosus associated with interrupted aortic arch: long-term outcomes.

Background: Truncus arteriosus (TA) with interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a rare combination of complex anomalies. We report long-term follow-up after one-stage repair of TA associated with IAA.

Methods: From April 1985 to August 2007, 16 patients with TA associated with IAA underwent one-stage repair.

Twenty-three years of single-stage end-to-side anastomosis repair of interrupted aortic arches.

Objective: This study defined long-term results of a policy of single-stage repair of interrupted aortic arch with end-to-side anastomosis.

Methods: Records of 112 consecutive patients undergoing interrupted aortic arch repair between 1985 and 2007 were reviewed. Single-stage repair was performed in 95 patients, with 90 having end-to-side repair.
