[A case of one stage-repair of interrupted aortic arch and ventricular septal defect in neonate using a separated cardiopulmonary bypass].
We report a case of one stage-repair of interrupted aortic arch and ventricular septal defect in neonate. The operation was performed at the age of 14 days. After a median sternotomy incision, a separated cardiopulmonary bypass was commenced through the ductus and a 4 mm EPTFE graft which was anastomoted to the right subclavian artery. Cerebral circulation was maintained through the graft during reconstruction of the aortic arch. Our method is useful regarding that brain damage can be avoided which may be induced by total circulatory arrest.
