Abstract
Absence of continuity between the heart and the pulmonary arteries has the potential for total correction. When the pulmonary arteries are narrow, a palliative first stage systemic-pulmonary arterial anastomosis serves to enlarge the pulmonary arteries so that, with time, they become of adequate caliber for total correction. In a case with bilateral ductal origin of pulmonary arteries, palliative anastomosis between the aorta and right pulmonary artery was performed as the first stage in a program planned for ultimate total correction.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
