A severely cyanotic 27-month-old Iraqi child was transferred to the United States for surgical treatment of suspected tetralogy of Fallot. Her diagnostic studies showed dextrocardia, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, hypoplastic left-sided ventricle, interrupted inferior vena cava, and severe pulmonic stenosis. Given the anatomic constraints as well as the absence of long-term medical care, the decision was made to pursue single-ventricle palliation. The patient recovered from a superior cavopulmonary anastomosis without event and has since returned to her native Iraq.
一名27个月大的伊拉克重症发绀患儿被转至美国，接受法洛四联症疑似病例的外科治疗。她的诊断检查显示右位心、先天性矫正型大动脉转位、左心室发育不全、下腔静脉中断以及严重的肺动脉狭窄。鉴于解剖学限制以及缺乏长期医疗护理，决定采用单心室姑息治疗。患者接受上腔静脉-肺动脉吻合术后顺利康复，此后返回了她的祖国伊拉克。
