This report describes 2 newborns with truncus arteriosus associated with an interrupted aortic arch who underwent a 2-stage repair due to poor preoperative condition. A repair of the interrupted aortic arch and ventricular-to-pulmonary artery conduit with a 6-mm Gore-Tex tube was performed as a first stage. Closure of a ventricular septal defect and placement of a right ventricular-to-pulmonary artery homograft conduit were performed electively at 8 months of age.
