Repair of anomalous origin of right pulmonary artery from ascending aorta without cardiopulmonary bypass

Heart Surg Forum. 2010 Oct;13(5):E339-41. doi: 10.1532/HSF98.20101043.

Abstract

Anomalous origin of a pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta (AORPA) is a rare congenital cardiac malformation that needs prompt surgical repair; otherwise it is associated with poor prognosis. We describe 3 cases of AORPA that successfully underwent complete surgical correction without extracorporeal circulation.
