Although a traditional 2-stage approach with a preceding systemic-to-PA shunt followed by a definitive repair is mandatory in patients with absent extrapericardial pulmonary arteries, more creative solutions are necessary when 1-stage repair is concerned. We present a novel technique for repairing the absent intrapericardial right pulmonary artery (RPA) with a contralateral PA autograft segment interposition. We believe that this technique using solely autologous tissue is effective in patients in whom the intrapericardial segment of the PAs is absent.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessRepairUnilateral AbsenceContralateralAutograftArticle9941467146910.1016/j.athoracsur.2014.12.036Q1Q1
