Abstract
-
Berry syndrome (a distal aortopulmonary window and a right pulmonary artery originating from the ascending aorta, an intact ventricular septum, a patent ductus arteriosus and an interrupted aortic arch) is a rare complex congenital cardiac malformation. We describe a case of one stage repair with using an autologous arterial flap in a 19-day-old neonate who was suffering with this malformation, and we report on the development of postoperative right pulmonary artery stenosis and its successful management with performing multiple balloon angioplasties.
