Aorticopulmonary Window: A Report of Two Cases

Aorticopulmonary window (APP) is an uncommon cardiac anomaly in which there is a communication between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunc. Because of its large left-to-right shunt, it needs early diagnosis and surgical treatment to avoid irreversible pulmonary lesion. In this report, two cases with aorticopulmonary window were presented. One of them, APP type I, could not be operated because of the coexisting Eisenmenger syndrome. The other one having APP type 2 and a ventricular septal defect, underwent surgical correction.
