Defects between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery are among the rare congenital heart defects (CHD), occurring at a rate of 0.27%. In 10-15% of cases this CHD is combined with patent ductus arteriosus (PDP), coarctation of the aorta. Single cases of its combination with pulmonary artery stenosis have been described in the literature. We present a case of successful correction of aortopulmonary septal defect (ASD) combined with PDP and stenosis of the bicuspid pulmonary valve.
