Özet
Interrupted aortic arch, characterized by luminal and anatomic discontinuity between the ascending and descending aorta, is a very rare congenital malformation. The condition is typically diagnosed in neonates and is highly fatal if left untreated. Herein, we report the unusual diagnosis of an isolated type A interrupted aortic arch in a hypertensive, asymptomatic 19-year-old man. © 2011 by the Texas Heart ® Institute, Houston.
