Surgical correction of pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect with large systemic-pulmonary collaterals.
A two-stage surgical procedure was performed in a young adult with pulmonary atresia and a ventricular septal defect with upper lobe pulmonary artery flow from confluent central pulmonary arteries and lower lobe pulmonary blood flow originating from two large systemic-pulmonary collaterals. Initially a Dacron Y graft was anastomosed between the ascending aorta and the collaterals and a graft to the left pulmonary artery. At the second operation, continuity was established between the right ventricle and the Y graft by using a valved Dacron conduit and the ventricular septal defect was closed.
