Background: Distal segment atresia (isthmus) is an extremely rare anatomical variant of obstructive aortic arch anomalies.
Case Report: We present the case of a newborn who, at 48 hours of life, presented a clinical picture of heart failure. The initial echocardiogram showed a congenital interrupted aortic arch type A, patent ductus arteriosus, and ventricular septal defect.
Article Synopsis
- The case discusses a rare heart condition where the right atrial appendages are positioned unusually to the left, discovered in a child at a hospital in Sonora.
- This anomaly is linked to more complex heart defects, including the absence of the right atrioventricular connection and transposition of the great arteries.
- Although two-dimensional echocardiograms typically diagnose such conditions, this case was identified incidentally during surgery or autopsy, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis for treatment strategies.
