Aortopulmonary Window (AP Window) is a rare congenital heart defect where there is an abnormal connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. This defect allows blood to flow between these two major vessels, bypassing the usual route through the lungs. The condition results in the mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood, which can cause increased blood flow to the lungs and strain on the heart. Over time, this can lead to pulmonary hypertension and heart failure if not corrected surgically.
