Abstract:
Interrupted descending aorta (IDA) is an extremely rare congenital heart defect characterized by a complete loss of connection between the ascending and descending aorta. This condition is typically diagnosed in infancy or early childhood, but there have been very few cases reported in adulthood. Here, we present a unique case of an IDA in a 16-year-old patient with concomitant aortic stenosis (AS) and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), making it an extremely rare scenario. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management in patients with an IDA, particularly when in association with other cardiovascular abnormalities.
摘要:
中断的降主动脉(IDA)是一种极为罕见的先天性心脏缺陷,其特征是升主动脉和降主动脉之间的连接完全丧失。这种情况通常在婴儿期或儿童早期被诊断出来,但是成年后报告的病例很少。这里,我们介绍了一例16岁合并主动脉瓣狭窄(AS)和二叶主动脉瓣(BAV)患者的IDA的独特病例,使它成为一个极其罕见的场景。该病例强调了IDA患者早期诊断和适当治疗的重要性,特别是当与其他心血管异常相关时。
