Survival into adulthood in patients with an interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is exceedingly rare. A recent literature review found 25 reported cases of IAA in adults. We describe the first case of prolonged, occult, postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding as a major complication following IAA surgery. We discuss the management of a 51-year-old man who underwent repair of an IAA, aortic valve replacement, and replacement of the ascending aorta for a known aortic aneurysm.
主动脉弓中断(IAA)患者存活至成年极为罕见。最近的一项文献综述发现有25例成人IAA的报道病例。我们描述了首例IAA手术后出现的长期隐匿性胃肠道出血这一主要并发症。我们讨论了一名51岁男性患者的治疗情况,该患者接受了IAA修复、主动脉瓣置换以及因已知主动脉瘤而进行的升主动脉置换手术。
