“…The first successful repair of IAA type A with an interposition of graft between left subclavian artery and descending thoracic aorta was reported to have performed in a 14-year-old child by Villalobos in 1961. 18 A left subclavian artery turnover (Blalock-Park procedure) or end-to-end primary anastomosis of the segments between aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta can be done with the left thoracotomy approach, but they are usually reserved for performing them during infancy.…”

Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is rare congenital cardiac defect defined as a complete loss of luminal and anatomical continuity between ascending and descending segments of the aorta. Usually it is detected in the perinatal period or during the first hours or days of infancy. If not treated surgically, it usually is lethal. Nevertheless, diagnosis can be made in adults but is a very rare entity. Extremely few cases in adults are reported in the pertinent medical literature. We present an asymptomatic 62-year-old patient who was found to have IAA after examination for hypertension. The patient underwent a successful anatomical repair, with an uneventful postoperative course, and follow-up examinations reveal regression of hypertension and excellent health condition.

“…11 The first successful surgical repair was performed as early as 1961 in a 14-year child. 12 Also, medical treatment with 4 years follow-up has been tried for in adult interruption of aorta presented with hypertension with the good collateral flow and has shown positive results with a focus on long term surveillance. 13…”

A young male patient of 20-year-old came to our hospital for evaluation of hypertension in young. The patient has presented with symptoms of dizziness and heaviness of the head for past 3 months. ECHO was suggestive of coarctation of the aorta and was evaluated for the same with catheter angiography study. Aortograms were taken through both right brachial and femoral routes. Transfemoral catheter failed to pass beyond the proximal descending thoracic aorta, and flush angiograms showing aortic stump are taken. Transbrachial artery catheter angiogram showed abrupt cut off of the arch of aorta distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. It was interpreted as severe coarctation of aorta and stent dilatation was planned during the same sitting. However even guide wire was not negotiable through the segment and procedure was abandoned. For proper delineation of aortic anatomy, multislice computed tomography (CT) angiography was performed which showed complete discontinuity of lumen of the aorta between the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta which is separated by an atretic fibrous band of thickness ~3.2 mm suggestive of interruption of the aorta (type A).
