  ABSTRACT: Reported here is a 26-year-old patient with corrected congenital interrupted aortic arch admitted with massive hemoptysis and severe suprasystemic pul-monary hypertension provided him for heart-lung transplantation. Initial closure of a small aorto-pulmonary collateral remained ineffective. Persistent life-threatening hemoptysis led to the decision for a modified Potts shunt with the aim of decompressing the right ventricle and avoiding pulmonary-hypertensive crisis. The hemoptysis did not recur. However, the patient’s oxygen transport condition deteriorated and necessitated an orchestra of interventional-surgical approaches from re-coarctation stenting, Potts shunt flow reducing to surgical and transcatheter tricuspid valve repair with transient ECMO before the patient could be discharged home.
