Description
Summary:The conventional Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure may cause coronary artery compression when the coronary arteries are situated between the great arteries. We have performed a modified Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure utilizing a “flap-bridging technique,” in which an inverted U-shaped flap incised from the aorta is bridged to the main pulmonary trunk, creating sufficient space between the great arteries, in an 8-month-old boy who was a Fontan candidate with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. This modified approach yielded favorable outcomes without coronary events and can effectively prevent coronary obstruction in cases where the coronary arteries run between the great arteries.
