Successful surgical pulmonary artery reconstruction in arterial tortuosity syndrome

The outcomes of surgical repair for diffuse pulmonary artery stenoses due to arterial tortuosity syndrome are unknown. We report a 1-year-old girl with tortuosity syndrome who presented with suprasystemic right ventricular pressure due to distortion and stenoses of the pulmonary artery branches. We describe the operative findings of this unique pathology and the surgical techniques used to completely reconstruct the pulmonary arterial tree, with normalization of the right ventricular pressure.
