Abstract

A bridging bronchus (BB) is a rare congenital heart anomaly. Frequently, BB also is complicated with congenital cardiac malformation, especially with sling (retrotracheal) left pulmonary artery (SLPA). This report presents a patient who underwent a Norwood procedure for a complex congenital heart disease with BB and SLPA.
