Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is rarely associated with aortopulmonary window. Single‐stage total correction is the preferred therapeutic option. When total correction is unfeasible, staged repair could be the therapeutic choice. Here, we presented a low birth weight infant who underwent bilateral pulmonary arteries banding and stenting ductus arteriosus by hybrid procedure. Hybrid procedure avoids long‐term central line insertion and guarantees ductal flow. It also avoids the side effects from prostaglandin infusion. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
