Abstract
Elastin arteriopathy-associated supravalvar pulmonary stenosis is characterized by a thick intraluminal ringlike obstruction at the sinotubular junction of the pulmonary valve. Extension of disease into the branch pulmonary arteries is common. A three-sinus pulmonary trunk augmentation combined with bilateral branch pulmonary augmentation is presented. This approach normalizes the pulmonary trunk and allows optimal augmentation of the central pulmonary arteries.
