Abstract
A successful repair of anomalous left pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta via a left ductus arteriosus in a 1 kg baby is reported. Repair was performed at an early age to avoid pulmonary hypertension and left pulmonary artery occlusion. Utilizing the right ductus to perfuse the right lung, surgery was performed without cardiopulmonary bypass.
