    Abstract:
    A female infant weighing 2.4 kg had respiratory distress at birth. She became dyspneic and hypercapnic and required intubation with assisted ventilation 11 days after birth. Because cardiac failure and respiratory failure did not improve, she underwent total correction at 26 days old, which consisted of VSD closure, right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction with valved porcine pericardial roll (VPR) and plication of both pulmonary arteries. She was weaned from the ventilator 11 days after operation and discharged at 12 weeks of age. One year later, reoperation was successfully performed for the replacement of the stenotic VPR with a transannular patch.
