Interrupted descending aorta (IDA) is an extremely rare congenital heart defect characterized by a complete loss of connection between the ascending and descending aorta. This condition is typically diagnosed in infancy or early childhood, but there have been very few cases reported in adulthood. Here, we present a unique case of an IDA in a 16-year-old patient with concomitant aortic stenosis (AS) and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), making it an extremely rare scenario. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management in patients with an IDA, particularly when in association with other cardiovascular abnormalities.
降主动脉中断(IDA)是一种极其罕见的先天性心脏缺陷,其特征为升主动脉和降主动脉之间完全失去连接。这种情况通常在婴儿期或幼儿期被诊断出来,但成年期报告的病例非常少。在此,我们呈现了一例独特的病例,一名16岁患者患有降主动脉中断,同时伴有主动脉瓣狭窄(AS)和二叶式主动脉瓣(BAV),这使其成为一种极其罕见的情况。该病例凸显了对降主动脉中断患者进行早期诊断和适当管理的重要性,特别是当与其他心血管异常相关联时。
