Background
Aortic atresia with ventricular septal defect is a very rare congenital cardiac anomaly, especially in combination with aortic arch interruption. It is always challenging to choose the optimal treatment tactics for such patients. One of the possible types of intervention is the Yasui procedure. There are only 19 reported cases in the literature of aortic atresia with interruption of the aortic arch type B or C, and not a single clinical case of type A.
Case presentation
The proband was a 2-day-old boy with diagnosis: aortic atresia with a ventricular septal defect and interruption of the aortic arch type B. The child underwent a Yasui procedure without serious postoperative complications and with good long-term result.
Conclusions
The Yasui procedure in patients with aortic atresia and interrupted aortic arch can be performed with minimal complications, even in low-weight patients.
