Abstract:
A critical infant with unrestrictive ventricular septal defect and absence of the left pulmonary artery underwent transcatheter re-canalization of the occluded arterial duct-left pulmonary artery complex and surgical banding of the right pulmonary artery. After this hybrid approach, the baby was discharged under mild anticongestive therapy in view of a later surgical repair.
