Abstract
A newborn baby with type II truncus arteriosus and type B interrupted aortic arch was successfully treated by creating a pulmonary tract usi ng autologous nap made from truncal wall without excision of the pulmo nary artery and by reconstructing the aortic arch with direct anastomo sis. This method provided excellent hemodynamics with wide reconstruct ion of the pulmonary tract without conduit.
