Resumen

Interruption of the aortic arch is a rare congenital cardiac malformation with rare cases described in adulthood. Survival in adulthood relies on developing collateral networks to maintain distal flow. CHD occurs in almost 50% of Turner syndrome and is the most frequent cause of early mortality. Also, they have an increased risk factor for thoracic aortic dilatation, and elective surgery should be considered according to body surface area. Surgical correction is the preferred treatment for the interrupted aortic arch and aortic root dilatation. We present the case of a 46-year-old patient with Turner syndrome with a diagnosis of interrupted aortic arch and aortic root aneurysm who underwent the Bentall procedure and interposition of a Dacron graft in the descending aorta. Post-procedural recovery was uneventful with a good haemodynamic response. © The Author(s), 2025.
