AI Article Synopsis
- - A temporary aortopulmonary shunt was developed using flexible cannulas to help with heart surgeries in two neonates: one for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction and the other for creating a central aortopulmonary shunt.
- - This innovative method could be especially beneficial in developing countries where access to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) equipment is limited.
- - The case report highlights the potential for this technique to improve surgical outcomes in situations where traditional CPB methods may not be available.
Article Abstract
A novel temporary aortopulmonary shunt, constructed between the aorta and main pulmonary artery with flexible cannulas, was used to facilitate right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in one neonate and creation of a central aortopulmonary shunt in a second neonate. Although cardiopulmonary bypass is readily available in Turkey, the strategy described in the case report may prove especially useful in developing nations with limited access to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
