The conventional Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure may cause coronary artery compression when the coronary arteries are situated between the great arteries. We have performed a modified Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure utilizing a "flap-bridging technique," in which an inverted U-shaped flap incised from the aorta is bridged to the main pulmonary trunk, creating sufficient space between the great arteries, in an 8-month-old boy who was a Fontan candidate with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. This modified approach yielded favorable outcomes without coronary events and can effectively prevent coronary obstruction in cases where the coronary arteries run between the great arteries.

A male neonate (2.5 kg) who presented with an interrupted aortic arch type C, hypoplasia of the aortic valve and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction received bilateral pulmonary artery bands as a first step of a hybrid interim palliation. Due to an intimal tissue flap at the origin of the left common carotid artery and a high-risk situation for PDA stenting, a complete early correction was undertaken.

A newborn with unbalanced atrioventricular septal defect and heterotaxy syndrome underwent early surgeries for single-ventricular palliation due to a small left ventricle. Following procedures, including the modified Damus-Kaye-Stansel, there was a notable increase in left ventricular size. This progression allowed successful biventricular repair at 7 months.

Background: Rates of reintervention (RI) after patch-augmented reconstruction for hypoplastic aortic arch (HAA) remain moderately high. We analyzed mid-term outcomes of aortic arch reconstruction to define modifiable reintervention risk factors.
Methods: Excluding Damus-Kaye-Stansel anastomoses and previous arch repair, 338 patients underwent arch reconstruction between 2000 and 2021 at median age of 6 days (interquartile range [IQR], 4-13 days) and a median weight of 3.
