Background : One of major concerns during arch repair is to prevent airway compression. Majority of arch obstruction patients have a configuration of left arch and left descending aorta. However, some patients have unusual configuration which may cause more challenging surgical technique and a postoperative airway compression. We reviewed our experiences of arch repair in these patients retrospectively since 2013.

Methods : Six patients with unusual aortic configuration underwent arch repair in the neonatal period after preoperative CT evaluation. Aortic arch obstruction was coarctation of aorta in 5 (including 2 HLHS variant) and type B IAA in 1. Aortic configuration were Circumflex retroesophageal left aortic arch in 2, Left aortic arch and right descending aorta crossing vertebrae in 2, right aortic arch and left descending aorta in 1, and right aortic arch and right descending aorta with retroaortic innominate vein in 1. Aortic arch was repaired under selective cerebral perfusion after extensive mobilization of descending aorta. Four patients needed patch material for arch reconstruction including two Norwood operations. Intraoperative bronchoscopy was done routinely.

Results : There was no mortality. There were no additional operations for arch stenosis or airway compression. Two patients on the single ventricle repair tract finished Fontan operation following neonatal Norwood operation.

Conclusion : Individualized arch repair even in unusual aortic configuration provides a good midterm result and preoperative CT scan is very helpful for the surgical planning. Also, extensive mobilization of descending aorta is mandatory and using patch material is helpful, if necessary.
