Transection of the aorta for repair of pulmonary artery branch stenosis after creation of a Waterston shunt

RESUMO

Closure of a Waterston shunt can usually be performed at the time of corrective surgery, either from the inside of the aorta or by detaching it from outside the aorta and patching the pulmonary artery. We propose a different approach for closing the shunt and repairing pulmonary artery stenosis.
