Technical Details of Transwindow Fenestrated, Unidirectional, Valved, Aorticopulmonary Fabric Patch Closure of Aortopulmonary Window (UKC's Modification): A Video Presentation

Abstract

Abstract A 10-year-old female patient diagnosed with isolated type I aortopulmonary window and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension who underwent repair of the aortopulmonary window via Johansson's transwindow approach using a unidirectional, fenestrated, valved, aorticopulmonary patch. The preoperative pulmonary vascular resistance was 9.0 Woods units/m 2 that reduced to 4.0 Woods units/m 2 after oxygen (100%) and nitric oxide (80 ppm) administration. The postoperative recovery was uneventful.
