dyspnea from 6 months age. The diagnosis was confirmed by cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography.
Pressure of main pulmonary artery was 80/50 (63) mmHg, and that of descending aorta was 75/45(60)mmHg
(Qp : Qs = 7.2 : 1, Rp/Rs = 11.4%) At a first stage, side to end anostomosis of left subclavian to descending aorta, pulmonary artery banding, ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus were performed.
After 6 months later, patch closure of ventricular septal defect and debanding of the previous pulmonary artery banding were performed under cardio-pulmonary bypass. The postperative course was good except attack of premature ventricular contractions and discharged with excellent general condition.
