title: Avoiding hypoxemia during unifocalization.
abstract: An 11-month-old child underwent unifocalization of the major aortopulmonary collateral arteries, but did not tolerate occlusion of both vessels simultaneously. Using a Y-shaped homograft tube, we translocated the vessels sequentially and avoided severe hypoxemia.
