Abstract
The surgical repair of Truncus Arteriosus Communis associated with an Interrupted Aortic Arch (TAC-IAA) is challenging. The association with a severe truncal valve regurgitation as well as the presence of pre-operative multiple organs failure is a major risk factor. The early mortality in the published series varies from 0 to 50 %. The two large multicentric studies of the CHSS in 2006 and the STS in 2013 show an early mortality of: 68 % (34/50) and – 21 % (12/58) respectively. Nevertheless, the results can be excellent in experienced centers using a modern one stage surgical technique, undertaken in the first weeks of life.
