Pulmonary agenesis with interrupted aortic arch.
This report describes a unique case of an infant with right pulmonary agenesis associated with interrupted aortic arch, ventricular septal defect, and aortic valvular stenosis. Blalock-Park arterial anastomosis and pulmonary arterial banding were performed without incidence. These techniques were useful for this complicated heart defect with pulmonary agenesis. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful.
