Isolated interrupted aortic arch in adulthood: A case report

Abstract

A 56-year-old man presented to our hospital with the complaints of dyspnea and chest pain during exercise over 6 months. He had a history of hypertension for several years, which had been kept under control with nifedipine plus valsartan. In addition, he had a hemorrhagic stroke 2 years earlier but he had no physical limitations. However, he had not undergone a complete evaluation at that time. His brother died at 41 years of age of myocardial infarction.
