A 22 months old infant with agenesis of right pulmonary artery, without other associated congenital heart defects, is reported. Reconstruction of pulmonary arteries by connecting them through a 7mm Goretex tube was performed, with clear clinical improvement in view of disappearance of signs of cardiac insufficiency and of hypoxemia. Contralateral pulmonary hypertension, at systemic level, decreased to 77% in the immediate postoperative period. So, this technique becomes the first option, before considering these cases for cardiopulmonary transplantation.
报告了一名22个月大的婴儿，其右肺动脉发育不全，无其他相关先天性心脏缺陷。通过一根7毫米的戈尔特斯（Goretex）管连接肺动脉进行了肺动脉重建，鉴于心功能不全和低氧血症体征消失，临床症状明显改善。术后即刻，对侧肺动脉高压降至体循环水平的77%。因此，在考虑对这些病例进行心肺移植之前，该技术成为首选。
