Abstract

Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a rare congenital cardiovascular condition. We present two cases with completely obstructed descending aortas, just distal to isthmus and that were treated with stent implantation and surgery. The decision depends on the invasive cardiologist’s and experience of the surgeon and on the patient’s condition.
