Abstract
We performed concomitant pulmonary artery angioplasty and the Blalock-Taussig shunt under median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass at the neonatal stage in Fontan candidates with pulmonary coarctation to obtain optimum pulmonary circulation. This surgical strategy realized appropriate early growth of the pulmonary artery necessary for the Fontan operation.Entities:
