Abstract
Despite marked improvement in the cardiosurgery, total repair of interrupted aortic arch with coexisting risk factors in neonatal
or early infancy is associated with high mortality. We present a patient treated by an alternative hybrid procedure without
exposing the critical ill neonate to the risk of cardiopulmonary bypass. At the 1.5 year of life a successful arch reconstruction,
repair of associated anomalies and de-banding of pulmonary arteries with a stent cut out was done.
