Abstract
A 7-year-old girl with unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery underwent autologous tissue limited reconstructive surgery. The proximal portion of the artery was reconstructed by rotating a reverse U-shaped cut opposite the pulmonary arterial wall and covering the anterior surface with autologous pericardium. Follow-up catheterization at 5.8 years after surgery revealed no stenosis. This procedure could become one of the preferred methods for this unusual clinical condition.Entities:
