  • Title: Surgical palliation in aortic atresia.
    Author: Levitsky S, van der Horst RL, Hasteiter AR, Eckner FA, Bennett EJ.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1980 Mar; 79(3):456-61. PubMed ID: 6153436.
    Abstract:
    In an infant with aortic atresia, two surgical procedures resulted in a 45 day postoperative survival. An atrial septectomy was initially performed. This was followed by the insertion of a Dacron graft from the main pulmonary artery to the descending thoracic aorta; the pulmonary artery was handed distal to the graft and the ductus arteriosus was ligated. Prostaglandin E1 was infused from the time of the diagnostic study to the second surgical procedure, 48 hours later. A postoperative cardiac catheterization was performed 3 weeks following the operation. Death occurred at 67 days of age from renal failure and a low cardiac output state.
