DOI: 10.5935/2359-4802.20190045
Introduction
Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) occurs in three births per million, and accounts for approximately 1% of congenital heart diseases (CHDs).– The first case reported with these anomalies appears to be the one by Seidel in 1818.

The two most common associated cardiac anomalies are ventricular septal defect (90%) and patent ductus arteriosus (98%). Isolated IAA is very uncommon, and it is considered incompatible with life.
