Abstract
Aortopulmonary window (APW) is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs in 0.2-0.6% of congenital heart diseases. APW often coexists with other cardiac malformations. However, APW together with aberrant origin of the left subclavian artery (LSA) from the main pulmonary artery is rarely seen. Here, we report an infant with right aortic arch in APW, who was found to have aberrant origin of the LSA from the main pulmonary artery. We confirmed its origin in the anatomical settings and modified a repair technique according to his individual situation, which brought successful results to the patient.Entities:
