Objective  To review the clinical experience of one-stage repair of interrupted aortic arch(IAA) in neonate with cardiac anomalies. Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 21 patients (18 males, 3 females) with IAA total repair in our hospital between May 2003 and September 2014. The average age of patients was 6–26 (15.9±5.8) days and the mean body weight was 3.3±0.4 kg. Fourteen patients belonged to IAA type A, and 7 patients to type B. All patients were complicated with ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and patent ductus artefious. All patients with cardiac anomalies underwent one-stage repair through median sternotomy. The aortic continuity was reestablished by anastomosis between the descending aortic segment and aortic arch. Results  CPB time was 92–174 (132.6±27.1) min, and aortic cross clamping time was 48-118 (70.9±18.8) min. Hospital day was 4-52 (28.0±12.1) d. There were 3 postoperative deaths. Causes of death included a cardiac arrest in one patient, hematosepsis in one patient, and a pulmonary hypertension crisis in one patient. Eighteen patients were followed up for 3 months to 11 years and the results were excellent. Conclusion  One-stage repair of IAA in neonate with cardiac anomalies can improve life quality of patients and achieve good results.
