  • Title: Does hypoplasia of one pulmonary artery preclude a definitive repair in pulmonary atresia, intact ventricular septum, and hypoplastic right ventricle?

    Journal: Heart Vessels; 1995; 10(3):158-62. PubMed ID: 7673087.
    Abstract:
    Twins with pulmonary atresia, intact ventricular septum, and hypoplastic right ventricle associated with underdeveloped and discontinuous left pulmonary artery are described. Operations to connect the left pulmonary artery to the main pulmonary trunk, with subsequent biventricular repair assisted by bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis and atrial fenestration were performed. Follow-up catheterization proved spontaneous closure of the fenestration in one patient. Both patients have been in a satisfactory condition for 3 years since operation.
