RESUMO

Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is an uncommon congenital anomaly representing approximately 1% of congenital heart disease. More than 97% of the cases also have associated cardiac anomalies complicating their treatment. Because the median age at death in untreated cases is 10 days, this condition usually occurs as a complicated neonatal surgical emergency.
