Abstract :
In expectation of the growth of a new pulmonary arterial trunk in total correction of tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, we used pedicled autologous pericardium combined with left atrial appendage as the posterior wall of a new pulmonary arterial trunk. In cases of long discontinuity between the right ventricular infundibulum and left pulmonary artery, our technique could be recommended for early repair of tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia.
