sible [8]. If necessary, repeated endovascular inter- vention should be performed.
Conclusion
We present the first case of successful staged en- dovascular treatment of complex congenital heart disease – AA anomaly in combination with the ab- sence of the left CCA and VSD. In a number of com- plex AA anomalies, such as the Gothic arch, stenting is still possible.
