  • Title: Interrupted aorta diagnosed in a 51-year-old woman.
    Author: Stoyanov N, Bullock A, Erickson M.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2014 Oct; 24(5):944-6. PubMed ID: 24124698.
    Abstract:
    A 51-year-old lady presented with increasing heart failure symptoms and palpitations. She had recently been diagnosed with a congenital ventricular septal defect, bicuspid aortic valve, and Eisenmenger's syndrome. There was clinical evidence of right heart failure and differential clubbing and cyanosis affecting the feet but not hands. A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated interruption of the aortic arch beyond the left subclavian artery, with the descending aorta perfused entirely through a large patent ductus arteriosus.
