Abstract:
Management options for severe, bilateral branch pulmonary artery stenosis include percutaneous balloon dilation and direct surgical correction. Results with both balloon angioplasty and operation have been somewhat unpredictable. We report a case of staged surgical correction involving bilateral branch pulmonary artery reconstruction.
