摘要:
Background A complex and rare form of persistent truncus arteriosus needs careful attention when choosing the optimal strategy for repair. Aim of the Study We herein describe our surgical strategy of a small infant having this malformation concomitantly with right aortic arch, unusual pulmonary artery branching and a left superior vena cava. Methods The patient underwent initially bilateral pulmonary arterial banding followed by the Rastelli type definitive repair. The pulmonary arteries were unified in front of the left superior vena cava, and the right ventricular outflow tract was readily reconstructed. Results The patient is doing well with an excellent hemodynamic status. Conclusions: We considered the two-stage approach was sensible in this particular patient.
