Abstract

Coarctation of the left pulmonary artery may coexist with tetralogy of Fallot or pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect. Various surgical methods, such as autologous pericardial patching and intraoperative pulmonary artery stenting, have been used for solving this condition. We proposed a simple and effective technique for treating patients with left pulmonary artery coarctation and pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect by using the right pulmonary artery flap for left pulmonary artery coarctoplasty, plus central shunt creation by V-Y plasty.
