Successful reoperation for severe left bronchus compression after repair of persistent truncus arteriosus with interrupted aortic arch.

Signs of the left bronchus compression, caused by aneurysmatic dilatation of the aortic root with severe aortic regurgitation, occurred 5 months after repair of the truncus arteriosus with interrupted aortic arch in an 85-day-old infant. At reoperation the dilated ascending aorta was replaced with a 14-mm Dacron tube. The aortic valve was replaced with an 18-mm Carbomedics valve. Compression of the left bronchus and the right pulmonary artery were released. The right pulmonary artery was enlarged with a pericardial patch and the original homograft was replaced with a new one. The patient remains in good clinical condition 2 years later.
