Abstract
We have performed bilateral pulmonary artery banding operations combined with planned percutaneous balloon dilatation at banding sites for patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and related anomalies. Here, we report a case of Fontan completion in a patient who underwent aortic arch repair and a bidirectional Glenn procedure following flowadjustable bilateral pulmonary artery banding. The patient had a double-inlet left ventricle, a hypoplastic right ventricle, a hypoplastic aortic arch, and coarctation of the aorta. She underwent banding at 9 days of age and balloon dilatation at 2 months. The Damus–Kaye–Stansel anastomosis, aortic arch repair, and bidirectional Glenn procedure were performed at 5 months of age, and the extracardiac Fontan procedure was performed at 1.5 years.
