We report a case of a 2-day-old male with a diagnosis of interrupted aortic arch combined with aortopulmonary window suspected through echocardiography and confirmed by multidetector computer tomography (MDCT) angiography. Our case highlights how MDCT angiography was a key factor in planning surgical approach as it not only accurately defined aortic arch anatomy but also aortopulmonary window morphology.
