Abstract |
A 13-day-old baby girl with tricuspid atresia (IIc), who was prematurely born at 32 weeks and 5 days of gestation and weighed 2.2 kg, underwent bilateral pulmonary artery banding, ductal stenting, and reverse Blalock-Taussig shunt. Cardiac computerized tomography at 4 months postoperatively showed that the ascending aorta outgrew the somatic growth, presumably thanks to the forward flow through the reverse Blalock-Taussig shunt. At 6 months postoperatively, the patient underwent a successful second-stage operation.
