Treatment of bulboventricular foramen stenosis by ventricle-ascending aorta valved-conduit bypass.

An 8-year-old girl with single ventricle and 1-transposition developed severe stenosis of the bulboventricular foramen. This became critical subsequent to pulmonary banding and a modified Fontan operation. Successful relief of the obstruction was achieved by placing a valved conduit between the ventricle and ascending aorta, thus bypassing the obstruction.
