Özet

Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a very rare pathology characterized by luminal discontinuity between ascending and descending aorta. IAA is commonly treated in pediatric ages, but the surgery is rarely used for adult patients. In this case report, we aimed to present a successful surgery in a young woman in whom IAA was diagnosed during pregnancy.
