Outcomes After Aortopulmonary Window for Hypoplastic Pulmonary Arteries and Dual-Supply Collaterals

BackgroundOur institutional approach to tetralogy of Fallot with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) emphasizes early unifocalization and complete repair (CR). In the small subset of patients with dual-supply MAPCAs and confluent but hypoplastic central pulmonary arteries (PAs), our surgical approach is early creation of an aortopulmonary window (APW) to promote PA growth. Factors associated with successful progression to CR and...
