Interrupted aortic arch is a rare and severe congenital heart defect characterized by a complete loss of luminal and anatomic continuity between the ascending and the descending aorta. This malformation has a poor prognosis without surgical treatment. In this article, we present a 56-year-old male patient with interrupted aortic arch type A who was treated successfully with surgery, and review the literature regarding this topic.
