Aortopulmonary window associated with interrupted aortic arch: report of surgical repair of eight cases and review of literature.

Background: Patients with combined aortopulmonary window (APW) and interrupted aortic arch (IAA) malformations are rarely seen. We reviewed cases with such association with emphasis on surgical management and long-term outcome.

Methods: 109 patients with IAA and 25 patients with APW were operated upon between 1981 and 2011.
