Abstract
We present a technical variant to reconstruct the right outflow tract in truncus type A3 (single pulmonary artery branch originating from the ascending aorta with common arterial valve and ventricular septal defect) with interposition of a ring of autologous arterial tissue and a bioconduit between the right ventricular infundibulum and the pulmonary artery branches. The final result is shown by postoperative angiogram which demonstrates an anatomically adequate reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract.
