Abstract:
We have performed bilateral pulmonary artery banding operations combined with planned percutaneous balloon dilatation at banding sites for patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and related anomalies. Here, we report a case of Fontan completion in a patient who underwent aortic arch repair and a bidirectional Glenn procedure following flowadjustable bilateral pulmonary artery banding. The patient had a double-inlet left ventricle, a hypoplastic right ventricle, a hypoplastic aortic arch, and coarctation of the aorta. She underwent banding at 9 days of age and balloon dilatation at 2 months. The Damus-Kaye-Stansel anastomosis, aortic arch repair, and bidirectional Glenn procedure were performed at 5 months of age, and the extracardiac Fontan procedure was performed at 1.5 years.
