| Popis: | Aortopulmonary window (APW) is a rare cardiac anomaly that was reported to occur in only 43 cases over 33 years at a large-volume cardiac center. It can present as an isolated anomaly or in combination with another cardiac anomaly. The surgical technique for APW has evolved from simple ligation to separation of the 2 great arteries. However, because of the rarity of APW, there is no standard surgical treatment for this disease entity. Herein, we present successful aortic reconstruction using a main pulmonary artery flap after sep-aration of the 2 great arteries in a neonate with isolated APW. |
