Abstract
A successful repair of anomalous left pulmonary artery from the ascending a orta via a left ductus arteriosus in a 1 kg baby is reported. Repair was pe rformed at an early age to avoid pulmonary hypertension and left pulmonary artery occlusion. Utilizing the right ductus to perfuse the right lung, sur gery was performed without cardiopulmonary bypass. (C) 2000 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
