1. Interrupted Aortic Arch Presented by Ri ???
3. Incidence A rare form of congenital heart disease.
1% of all CHD.
4. Background First described by Steidele in 1778
First known surgical correction of IAA by Samson in1955
Classified by Celoria and Patton in 1959
First repair in neonate by Sirak in 1968
First one-stage primary correction of IAA by Trusler and Izukawa in 1975
5. Classifications: Type A(40%): The interruption is distal to the left subclavian artery
Type B(>50%): The interruption is between the left carotid and left subclavian arteries
Type C(<5%): The interruption is between the innominate and left carotid arteries
7. Associated anomaly PDA and VSD (>90%)
bicuspid aortic valve ( 60% )
subaortic stenosis (20% )
valve deformity (10%)
persistent truncus arteriosus (10%)
8. Aberrant right subclavian artery(2/3 of type B, 1/3 of typeA)
Chromosome band 22q11.2 deletion (>50% of IAA type B)

10. The CATCH22 Syndrome Definition: Cardiac, Abnormal facies, Thymic Hypoplasia, Cleft palate, Hypocalcemia) includes the broad clinical spectrum of conditions with 22q11.2 deletions
DiGeorge syndrome (hypocalcemia, thymic hypoplasia, mild facial anomalies )
11. The velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) (abnormal facies, cleft palate)
Conotruncal anomaly face syndrome (CTAFS)
12. Pathogenesis Abnormal proliferation, function, migration, and maturation of neural crest cell (encoded by Ch.22q11)
secondary to a decreased antegrade blood flow in the ascending aorta due to the constant presence of VSD and left ventricular outflow obstruction
13. Clinical manifestations Tachypnea, poor feeding, lethargy
Before ductus arteriosus closure: differential oxygen saturation between the right arm (normal saturation) and the legs (decreased)
Reverse differential cyanosis may present in IAA with TGA
14. differential systolic pressure between the right arm and the legs may or may not present
After ductus arteriosus closure: severe congestive heart failure, lower extremity hypoperfusion, anuria, and shock
15. Pulse oximetry arm and leg oxygen saturation as a screening test
Left heart obstructive disease (coarctation of the aorta, interrupted aortic arch, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and critical aortic stenosis) with right-to-left-shunt of ductus arteriosus
16. Echocardiography Diagnostic for IAA.
the ascending aorta follows a straight course to its branches without the normal continuous curvature to the descending aorta.
The V sign: type B. The W sign: type A.
18. Chest X ray Cardiomegaly
increased pulmonary vascular markings, and pulmonary venous congestion or pulmonary edema
Narrow upper mediastinum or increase cardiothymic silhouette: absence of the thymus
19. ECG Right ventricular hypertrophy
ST-T wave abnormalities
QT prolong(CATCH22 syndrome related hypocalcemia)
20. Cardiac catheterization Accurate diagnosis
Site of interruption
Size and type of VSD
Whether the right subclavian artery is aberrant
21. Medical treatment Prostaglandin E1 infusion (maintain the patency of ductus arteriosus)
Intubation and oxygen administration
diuretic and inotropic agents
Monitoring and correction of abnormal blood gases and electrolytes
22. PGE1(Alprostadil ) Effect:direct vasodilatation action on the ductus arteriosus and vascular smooth muscle
Adverse effect: neonatal apnea, seizures, fever, hypotension, tachycardia, pulmonary overcirculation,
Coadministration with heparin may increase aPTT
23. Surgical management The prognosis is quite poor if uncorrected
Early surgical repair is recommended
Single-staged complete repair with primary anastomosis of the interruption should be the surgical goal
24. Possible restenosis of the aortic arch can adequately be treated by percutaneous balloon dilatation or redo surgery if necessary
long-term outcome is strongly influenced by the presence of subaortic obstruction
