An unusual case report of two cases with coexisting type I aortopulmonary window with tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary atresia

Abstract

Aortopulmonary window is an uncommon truncal anomaly. Its coexistence with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with pulmonary atresia is rare. This rare complex association is always a surgical challenge due to lack of an established surgical approach. The association with TOF makes the interventional approach unlikely. In the two cases summarized below, we have addressed the investigation strategy reaching the final diagnosis. The surgical interventions and our decision-making in the final adopted technique have been highlighted. The relevant surgical outcome with postoperative follow-up has been discussed. The rarity of this association without a standard management algorithm mandates the relevance of this presentation.
