ABSTRACT
A 85-day-old infant was successfully operated on for truncus arteriosus (type I) with interrupted aortic arch (type A) using one-stage anterior approach without circulatory arrest. Aortic arch was reconstructed by direct anastomosis of ascending aorta and descending aorta with regional perfusion and continuity of right ventricle to pulmonary artery was established with Shelhigh(R) pulmonic conduit. The patient experienced left bronchus compression by descending aorta immediately postoperatively, which was improved with positional change and physiotherapy. The patient had reoperation due to stenosis of valved conduit at 13 months later. The patient is currently well under follow-up of 14 months from initial repair.
