Abstract

A 15-year-old boy with tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia without central pulmonary arteries who was successfully treated using a staged approach is presented. The first stage consisted of the creation of central pulmonary arteries. In the second stage, the continuity between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries was established with closure of the ventricular septal defect. Some patients previously considered to be unsuitable candidates for correction may be successfully repaired using this approach.
