    Author: Marui A, Mochizuki T, Mitsui N, Koyama T, Horibe M.
    Journal: Nihon Kyobu Geka Gakkai Zasshi; 1997 Aug; 45(8):1189-94. PubMed ID: 9301254.
    Abstract:
    Three patients with anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta were reported. Case 1: A 33-day-old premature infant (body weight 984 g) with the right pulmonary artery arising from the ascending aorta (RAPAA) and the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Banding of the right pulmonary artery (RPAB) and ligation of PDA were performed as a palliative operation. AT 3-month-old (BW 2,200 g), division and direct anastomosis of the anomalous vessel to the main pulmonary trunk was done as a radical operation under hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Case 2: A 16-day-old infant with RAPAA and PDA. Division and direct anastomosis of the anomalous vessel to the main pulmonary trunk and ligation of PDA were performed as a radical operation under hypothermic CPB. Case 3: A 74-day-old infant with RAPAA and Ebstein's anomaly. RPAB was performed as a first palliative operation and left Blalock-Taussig shunt as a second operation. Glenn operation is scheduled as third operation prior to Fontan type operation.
