Novel arterioplasty of severe left pulmonary artery stenosis using native main pulmonary artery

Jineel H Raythatha et al. J Card Surg. 2021 Jan.

Abstract

There are multiple approaches described for the repair of stenosed branch pulmonary arteries. Regardless of the technique used, restenosis is common. We describe a case of severe left pulmonary artery stenosis repaired with a novel technique using the native main pulmonary artery which was transected and turned down to create a direct anastomosis with the left pulmonary artery. This tension-free tissue to tissue anastomosis resulted in hemodynamically gratifying results with the potential for growth.

Keywords: aorta and great vessels; cardiovascular pathology; congenital heart disease; pulmonary arterioplasty; pulmonary artery stenosis; pulmonary atresia.
