["Extended aortic arch anastomosis" in Shone's anomaly--a case report]
1First Department of Surgery, Asahikawa Medical College, Hokkaido, Japan.
Abstract:
We report a case of a newborn with Shone's anomaly in whom the parachute mitral valve, mild subaortic stenosis, hypoplastic aortic arch, and severe coarctation of the aorta were found. The patient was 10 days old, who had symptoms of low output syndrome due to the progressive obstruction of patent ductus arteriosus, underwent "extended aortic arch anastomosis" to repair the hypoplastic aortic arch and severe coarctation of the aorta. This surgical procedure, resulting in a successful post-operative course of the patient, might be effective in such anomalies.
