Modified procedure for correction of truncus arteriosus, types II and III

J M Smith 3rd et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 1980 Apr.

Abstract

A new modified procedure for correction of types II and III truncus arteriosus defects is described. This method of intraluminal aortic patch placement to partition the pulmonary and systemic circulation has certain distinct technical and anatomical advantages in patients with this type of congenital defect. Further, as the patient grows, it may prove to be a more versatile procedure.
