Abstract

Anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta (AORPA) is a rare congenital heart defect and generally associated with other cardiac anomalies. Patients with AORPA have high pulmonary fl ow results in congestive heart failure and unilateral pulmonary hypertension. Thus, it is frequently a fatal malformation in the neonatal or early infancy periods if early surgical repair is not performed. Herein, we report a 1.5 month-old girl who was diagnosed with AORPA associated with aortopulmonary window and interrupted aortic arch and successfully operated using a single pericardial xenograft 3D patch.
