Repair of early left main stem stenosis after switch operation using an autologous innominate vein patch.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the repair of the postoperative left main stem stenosis of a 24-day old male patient who initially underwent arterial switch operation for dextro-transposition of the great arteries. The repair was facilitated by using an autologous left innominate vein patch, while there was a shortage of suitable repair material in this neonate. Postoperative echocardiogram prior to discharge confirmed a satisfactory flow through the left main stem and improved left ventricle function.
