Abstract
A 12.5-year-old boy with tricuspid atresia and quadriplegic cerebral palsy presented with increasing cyanosis after previous palliation with a cavopulmonary shunt and ligation of the main pulmonary artery (MPA). Because of severe physical disabilities he was not considered suitable for Fontan completion. He underwent successful transcatheter stent recanalization of the ligated MPA. This re-established anterograde flow to the pulmonary arteries resulting in marked improvement in saturations.
