Abstract

A neonate developed severe dyspnea following an arterial switch operation due to compression of the trachea and left main bronchus by a dilated pulmonary artery. This was relieved by a second procedure in which the dilated pulmonary artery was excised and reconstructed with bovine pericardium.
