aortic arch interruption, congenital anomalies, multidetector computed tomography.Abstract
Aortic arch interruption is defined by the lack of anatomical continuity between the ascending and descending aorta, considered an extreme form of coarctation. It´s usually associated with other cardiac anomalies, like double outlet right ventricle. The technological advance in Cardiac CT has allowed in the last years a great diagnostic precision with minimum risk for the patient. We present the case of a 4-day-old infant with a diagnosis of complex aortic coarctation studied through CT and a brief literature review of this topic subject.
