Aortopulmonary window with subaortic fibrous stenosis and septal defect: surgery through a minimal right vertical infra-axillary thoracotomy

Abstract

Aortopulmonary window with subaortic stenosis and ventricular septal defect is an uncommon congenital cardiac malformation that is repaired using cardiopulmonary bypass. The authors describe a 3-year-old patient on whom we performed surgery through a minimal right vertical infra-axillary thoracotomy. This minimally invasive surgery is likely to be applicable in a few cases.
