Case report demonstrates the need for early surgical correction in an infant with interrupted aortic arch and aberrant artery, suggesting improved outcomes.
Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is defined as a complete luminal and anatomical interruption between ascending and descending aorta. The occurrence of IAA in conjunction with an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is exceptionally rare. We report a case of an 8-month-old male infant diagnosed with type B IAA and ARSA using computed tomography angiography, highlighting the need for early surgical correction to restore and maintain normal systemic circulation.

Reddy et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Type B interrupted aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery (n=1). Type B interrupted aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery was evaluated. An 8-month-old male infant was diagnosed with a rare type B interrupted aortic arch and aberrant right subclavian artery using CT angiography, though parents declined recommended surgical correction.
