Interruption of aortic arch associated with pulmonary valve stenosis. 1995

Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Osaka Medical Center, Japan.

A newborn male is described who presented with interruption of aortic arch associated with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary valve stenosis. He underwent total corrective surgery and was discharged with good clinical results. The combination of significant right ventricular outflow obstruction and interruption of aortic arch is incompatible with fetal survival unless there are large collateral arteries which arise early in pregnancy. This is the first report of this combination of lesions.

D011666	Pulmonary Valve Stenosis	The pathologic narrowing of the orifice of the PULMONARY VALVE. This lesion restricts blood outflow from the RIGHT VENTRICLE to the PULMONARY ARTERY. When the trileaflet valve is fused into an imperforate membrane, the blockage is complete.

D006345	Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular	Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two lower chambers of the heart. Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.
