Abstract

A 21-year-old female was diagnosed as having a triad of interruption of the aortic arch, patent ductus arteriosus and ventricular septal defect. The patient died from bacterial endocarditis associated with acute peritonitis and perirenal abscess at the age of 31. This is the third longest survival of a case affected with the above triad, as far as we know.
