New surgical technique for total-defect aortopulmonary window

A new technique is described to repair aortopulmonary window with total defect in an 8-day-old baby. Because we expected the future growth of aorta, we used the anterior wall of the pulmonary artery as a large flap to reconstruct the posterolateral aortic wall. An equine pericardial patch was used to repair the defect in the pulmonary artery. This is a logically effective method for aortic reconstruction in a neonate with a large aortopulmonary septal defect.
