Özet
The coexistence of aortic valve atresia and interrupted aortic arch are an extremely rare condition. In this pathology, blood flow to the ascending aorta and coronary arteries should be provided through the ductus arteriosus or collaterals originating from the descending aorta. In rare cases where bilateral ductus arteriosus is present, they can provide circulation. Here, we report two cases in which coronary arteries and ascending aorta were supplied by one ductus arteriosus and distal systemic circulation is supplied by a second ductus arteriosus in one patient and a collateral artery in the other. Initial palliation was successfully performed by bilateral pulmonary artery banding and transcatheter ductal stent implantation in both cases.
