Aortic arch interruption

A rare heart defect characterized by complete lack of anatomical continuity between the transverse aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta. AAI should be distinguished anatomically from atresia of the aortic arch where continuity between these segments is achieved by an imperforate fibrous strand of various lengths.

Ventricular septal defect

A hole between the two bottom chambers (ventricles) of the heart. The defect is centered around the most superior aspect of the ventricular septum.

A supracristal ventricular septal defect is also an integral component of the Taussig-Bing malformation, is present in the majority of patients with aortic arch interruption, and may be seen in as many as 25% of Oriental patients with tetralogy of Fallot.
