Abstract
A technique with autologous tissue for the correction of type III trun cus arteriosus is described. The truncal root was excised as a cylinde r that incorporated pulmonary arteries and that was translocated anter ior to the ascending aorta. The proximal section of the cylinder was c losed and the pulmonary tract was reconstructed with anastomosis of a widely opened distal section to the right ventricle. Autologous perica rdium was sutured to the entire surface of the pulmonary tract.
