Abstract:
Objective To review the experience of surgical repair of aortic origin of pulmonary artery.Methods Fifteen patients underwent surgical correction for aortic origin of pulmonary artery.All of the patients had anomalous origin of right pulmonary artery,and 11 were associated with patent ductus arteriosus,6 with patent foramen ovale,3 with atrial septal defect,2with aortic pulmonic window,1 with ventricular septal defect,1 with interruption of aortic arch,1 with coarctation of aorta and 1 with pulmonary vein stenosis.All patients were associated with severe pulmonary hypertension.All patients were operated on with the implantation of the AORPA to the main pulmonary artery derectly.Results All 15 patients were cured and no died.1 lost follow-up and the other 14 were survivable during a follow-up 3 months to 81 months.one patient recepted pacemaker implantation 2 years after operation because of sinus arrest,no other patients required reoperation.Conclusion Echocardiography combined with spiral ct angiography is a good method for AOPA diagnosis.Good surgical outcome and low reoperation rate of aortic origin of pulmonary artery can be achieved by direct anastomosis.
