    Objectives Surgical management of aortic arch hypoplasia (AAH) with associated intracardiac anomalies is a challenge in newborns. We reviewed the characteristics and outcomes of neonates and infants who underwent pulmonary artery banding concomitant to arch repair and single-stage total repair at our institution. Methods Medical records of 60 patients undergoing aortic arch reconstruction for AAH from 2014 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty-five patients were female (41.6\%), and the age of the patients ranged from 4 to 120 days (median, 19.5 days). The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (23 patients) underwent pulmonary artery banding concomitant to arch repair, and Group 2 (37 patients) underwent single-stage total repair in addition to arch repair. All arch repair procedures consisted of an extended (to the midportion of the ascending aorta) patch aortoplasty. Results Postoperative early mortality occurred in 12 patients, eight in Group 1 (34.8\%) and four in Group 2 (10.8\%). There was an early survival advantage in Group 2 (p = .019). Recoarctation occurred in 13 cases (21.6\%), and 11 (18.3\%) of them required reintervention (balloon angioplasty: 7, reoperation: 4). On univariate analysis, risk factors associated with death were pulmonary artery banding (hazard ratio {[}HR], 0.44
