Bovine Type

An aortopulmonary window is known to be associated in 5% of interrupted aortic arch cases. The combination of these lesions with a bovine-type aortic arch is much more uncommon. We report its embryological explanation and successful single-stage surgical repair in a three-month-old infant.

Repair Techniques

We report a case of advanced age at presentation of interrupted aortic arch with aortopulmonary window. Although the association between these two defects is well established, their overall prevalence is extremely low. This case presents us with an excellent opportunity to discuss decision making regarding aortic arch repair techniques according to age at which primary surgical correction is intended.
