Abstract
Anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta is a rare congenital lesion with a high mortality and morbidity if early diagnosis is not made and correction is not undertaken. We describe the repair of such a lesion using a double-trapdoor technique of pulmonary artery reimplantation.
