摘要

Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is an exceptionally rare congenital malformation (< 1%), and survival into adulthood relies on the development of a robust collateral arterial network capable of sustaining distal perfusion. Its association with a stenotic bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is uncommon. While a BAV is a common associated anomaly, its presentation with severe symptomatic stenosis in an adult with IAA is less frequently reported. We report the case of a 50-year-old male with poorly controlled arterial hypertension and heart failure, diagnosed with an IAA and a BAV.
