RESUMEN
Abstract Type II Aortopulmonary window (APW) accounts for only 10% of total cases of APW, which by itself is a rare congenital anomaly. Various cardiac malformations have been reported to be associated with this rare anomaly. We report one such association of origin of left subclavian artery (LSCA) from left pulmonary artery (LPA) via ductus arteriosus that was surgically repaired.

La ventana aortopulmonar es una causa poco frecuente de insuficiencia cardiaca en el neonato. Debe ser descartada en caso de existir edema pulmonar sin los shunts izquierda-derecha más frecuentes. Presentamos las imágenes ecocardiográficas de un recién nacido que ingresó con clínica de insuficiencia cardiaca en nuestra institución.
The aortopulmonary window is a rare cause of heart failure in the neonate. It must be ruled out if there are signs of pulmonary edema without the most frequents left-right shunts. We report the echocardiographic images of a newborn who was admitted with symptoms of heart failure at our institution.

In patients with transposition of great arteries, presence of aortopulmonary window is very uncommon and associated with high morbidity and mortality. This report describes the case of an 11-month-old female patient in which aortopulmonary window was restrictive, and protected the patient from developing pulmonary vascular disease. The patient underwent successful arterial switch and repair of aortopulmonary window.
