    Abstract:
    Aortic arch coarctation proximal to the left subclavian artery is a rare anomaly. It is about 1% of all coarctation of the aorta. This 16 days neonate with coarctation of aortic arch with severe subaortic stenosis and ventricular septal defect was underwent two staged repair. In the first-stage operation, coarctation of the aortic arch was reconstructed by extended end to end direct anastomosis through posterolateral thoracotomy. In the second stage, we performed intracardiac repair with use of a technique which included resection of superior margin of conus septum through VSD and patch closure of VSD. The postoperative pressure study showed no gradient between left ventricle and left radial artery. The postoperative course was satisfactory. This patient is doing well.
