Surgical treatment for the single ventricle with subaortic obstruction. Clinical case of the Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure

Abstract

We present a case of hemodynamic correction for the single ventricle combined with subaortic obstruction and coarctation in an infant. The Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure with modified double-barrel technique was performed. The pulmonary flow was provided with modified Blalock-Taussig shunt. The early postoperative period was characterized by multiple organ failure. Subsequently, the infant underwent the next stages of hemodynamic correction with good long-term results.
