The optimal management of functionally univentricular hearts with a significant unbalanced pulmonary blood flow is unclear. The role of cavopulmonary shunt in the rehabilitation of hypoplastic pulmonary arteries is limited. Intrapulmonary artery septation is a technique, wherein a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt provides an additional source of blood flow to rehabilitate the hypoplastic pulmonary artery. We report a case of functionally univentricular heart with hypoplastic left pulmonary artery following a cavopulmonary shunt in whom intrapulmonary artery septation resulted in adequate growth of the left pulmonary artery.
功能性单心室伴明显肺血流不平衡的最佳治疗方法尚不清楚。腔静脉肺动脉分流术在修复肺动脉发育不良中的作用有限。肺内动脉间隔术是一种技术，其中体肺动脉分流提供额外的血流来源，以修复发育不良的肺动脉。我们报告了一例功能性单心室伴腔静脉肺动脉分流术后左肺动脉发育不良的病例，肺内动脉间隔术使左肺动脉得到充分生长。
