... that an interrupted aortic arch isn't what happens when the aorta is rudely intruded upon? Source: "Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a relatively rare genetic disorder." (source)
ALT1:... that an interrupted aortic arch is rapidly lethal, but it can be fixed by surgery? Source: "...if the condition is left untreated, 90% of the affected infants die at a median age of 4 days..." (PMID 12075868); "Survival is not possible without surgery. By comparison, survival after complete repair of the aortic arch and ventricular septal defect in the newborn period is 90 percent or greater in most pediatric heart centers." (source, under the "Surgery" tab)
Moved from above. Length: Somehow, I only see 4547 characters (755 words) of "readable prose size". The bullet points are not counted as prose. However, I'm reluctant to fail this nomination due to some bureaucratic limit that you barely missed. For this to be eligible for DYK, I suppose that you can convert the bullet points to prose.
Hooks: Both are interesting, but ALT0 is neither in the source nor the article (even though the hook is being assumed). I'd go with ALT1 to be safe. epicgenius (talk) 19:17, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
@Epicgenius: Thank you for your review! I appreciate the "readable prose size" clarification; I wasn't aware of the bullet point disqualification. I've added the DYK check app to my account and made some edits to the page. Per the app, I'm now getting a readable prose size of 6623 characters. As for the hook, I thought ALT0 would be more "hooky." And while the source does not specifically make the joke in ALT0, I figured that citing the actual definition (which is in the article) would suffice to make an argument for common sense.―Biochemistry🙴❤ 20:03, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
@Biochemistry&Love: Thanks for your quick response, and sorry for not getting back earlier. The article length now looks good to go. Although ALT0 is pretty funny (and maybe a good Reddit submission, haha), I still think that ALT1 is safer, in the sense that it won't show up at Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors when someone notices this hook isn't in the article. epicgenius (talk) 04:19, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
