We present a rare case of a patient with interrupted aortic arch with Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve and rheumatic mitral stenosis. This patient presented in early adulthood, which makes his case even more unusual. We successfully treated the mitral stenosis and the interrupted aortic arch through a left lateral thoracotomy, but we decided against correcting the Ebstein's anomaly, which was mild. The hemodynamic effects of each lesion, independently and in the presence of each other, are discussed.
