[A successful case report of one and one half ventricle repair for pure pulmonary stenosis in a 4-year-old girl].
A 4-year-old girl with pure pulmonary stenosis, hypoplastic right ventricle and atrial septal defect, underwent left modified Blalock-Taussig shunt at the age of 2 year. Her RVEDV was 62.7% of normal and TVD was 64.2% of normal at the age of 3 year. We observed development of right ventricle and performed simultaneously Glenn shunt and right ventricular outflow reconstruction (one and one half ventricle repair). Her general condition after operation became better. The size of tricuspid valve and right ventricle grew on Cardiac ultrasonography and catheterization examined after one year operation. In future, If the size of RV and TV might grow further, we should recommend her biventricular repair.
